Shipping

Paintings are generally shipped domestically using FedEx Express Saver with a signature required. International shipments are mailed via US Post Express Mail. In both instances, tracking information is provided. All smaller items such as books, DVDs, etc. are shipped by US Post Priority. Exceptions may be made for shipping large framed works or in other unique circumstances. FedEx does not ship to PO Boxes. We guarantee that items are shipped out in a timely fashion but cannot control events that take place during transit; such as items held at local Customs, failed delivery attempts, etc. Damage occurred to the package in transit will require the return of the item and package then will be taken up with the shipping company. We require a signature on all paintings shipped domestically so that the package does not disappear from a doorstep, lobby, or foyer. If a request is made to not require a signature for delivery, the AEACP removed of liability for any loss of the item during transit.
All our inventory ships from our New York office and upon purchase, is shipped within two working days. The approximate time for shipments to arrive within the US is 3-7 business days. International shipments will generally take 5-10 days.
We deliver goods worldwide.
