Painting prices are direct selling prices.

If you prefer you may enquire directly for a quote for postage costs..

Orders will normally be processed within 7 days. Originals are dispatched by first class mail or courier within India or by international airmail as appropriate. This should mean that you will receive your order, subject to any customs delays, within 14 working days. An e-mail will be sent to confirm your payment has been processed and your order dispatched.

N.B. If you select one of my most recent paintings dispatch will be delayed until I've been able to arrange framing.
I would like to apologize if at any other time as a consequence of my work commitments the dispatch of your order is delayed.

SHIPPING INSURANCE GUIDE All Destinations


Inspect any received package thoroughly before accepting / signing for it.
You must make a note of any damage on the delivery record.
If you do not couriers will argue that the shipment was delivered in good condition.

CUSTOMS
Goods supplied to European Union Countries do not require a customs declaration.
Outside of the European Union all international packages need to be accurately described, with costs, on the customs declaration document.


Customs and import duties are not included. The customer is responsible for the payment of surcharges. Any customs or import duties are levied once the package reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you as I have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they might be. Since customs policies vary from country to country you may want to contact your local customs office for further information.

DOCUMENTS
Having successfully made your payment I send you a confirmatory e-mail detailing your purchases. I issue a "certificate of ownership" to accompany your receipt. This is validated once I have banked your payment. At this point the painting becomes yours and will be forwarded immediately. I will send an e-mail to confirm dispatch and expected arrival times.

RUSH ORDERING

In certain cases, rush orders can be processed. These are by special request.

I can take no responsibility for delays caused during shipping once the goods have left me.

 Prices and availability

Please select the piece and send us a mail from your feedback to send you price list.

All prices are subject to change from time to time. VAT is not charged on my original artworks
. In view of the limited supply, the availability of items depends on previous sales.

If an offer to buy is made I reserve the right at my discretion to decline the offer and not sell the goods.

All disputes will be settled under Indian Law.

 

Return procedure
offer of refund

Always inspect any received package thoroughly before accepting / signing for it.

Please don't panic if for whatever reason you are unhappy with an original when you receive it or if it has been damaged in transit, you will get a full refund on returning the goods. In the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied with your purchase PayPal, the card payment processors for my website, operate a refund policy.


Returning undamaged or unsuitable items
Notify Sohel
that the painting does not match up to your expectations. If not completely satisfied the artwork must be promptly returned within 30 days of receipt. The original must be packed carefully using the outward packaging and insured for the full purchase value as it may not be possible to offer a refund or replacement for any goods, which are damaged during return transit.

Once I have received the carefully returned item, I guarantee to refund 100% of the artwork's purchase price and your postage expenses incurred during the returning of the original. (Please send an invoice with postage receipts).

What to do if a parcel is damaged in transit
Inspect any received package thoroughly before accepting / signing for it.
You must
make a note of any damage on the delivery record. If you do not the couriers will argue that the shipment was delivered in good condition. In order for them to consider a claim for damage, the contents, original shipping carton and packing must be available for inspection.

If the package appears to have suffered shipping damage:

  • notify me immediately

  • promptly contact the shipping company for a damage inspection report

  • request that the shipping company return the merchandise

  • keep the original shipping carton and packaging

   Frames for paintings

All Birds in Relief paintings have Teakwood paneling.

All Wild flower paintings have matching Fiber frames.

 

   Still undecided?

I can e-mail a larger and better quality image.

Choosing a painting from a computer image is obviously not ideal as the colours will depend on your own monitor settings. If you have concerns regarding colour I can try matching a paper printout to the original and send it.

If feasible you might like to arrange an appointment to view the original.

Please contact me if you need more information.
