The artwork displayed on this site has all been physically created by elephants in Southeast Asia. All available paintings on the site are in stock at our New York office.

6. Damaged goods during transportation
You must inspect the goods for visual damage on delivery. In cases of damaged goods, this fact must be communicated to the delivery company at time of receiving your delivery. This will allow us to apply our shipping insurance coverage with the shipping company. You should then email Elephantart.com within 7 days of delivery and we will advise you accordingly. In cases where we advise you to return the goods, Elephantart.com will reimburse you for the delivery costs. You will then have the option of accepting replacement goods, or receiving a full refund, including the initial cost of delivery. Reimbursement for shipping costs is only valid for items damaged during transportation.
