Packing and Shipping

Overview

We accept secure credit card payments through our checkout page, or you may arrange other payment methods by contacting us.

We pack carefully and well, and ship promptly upon clearance of full payment, typically within one business day.

Paintings

Secure, protective packing and FedEx or UPS economy shipping of paintings is FREE to any street address within the continental United States.

Expedited shipping and shipping to locations outside the continental United States will be invoiced at our cost as soon as the painting is packed, as we need the package dimensions and weight to determine that cost. The invoice will be sent via email, and will include a link to facilitate payment.

Typewriters

We are painfully aware of the damage risks entailed when shipping a typewriter. We strive to ensure that your "new" typewriter arrives at your doorstep in the same condition it leaves ours.

When packing a typewriter for shipping, we lock the carriage in its centered position, move the margins all the way in to reinforce that position, place padding into the type basket to prevent bouncing keybars, and provide additional padding inside the case to restrict movement. We then wrap padding outside the case, and place it in a snug-fitting cardboard box. Finally, we pack that first box—well padded on all six sides—into a larger, second box. For additional peace of mind, we insure all shipments for their full value.

Packing and FedEx or UPS economy shipping of typewriters is FREE to any street address within the continental United States.

Expedited shipping and shipping to locations outside the continental United States will be invoiced at our cost as soon as the typewriter is packed, as we need the package dimensions and weight to determine that cost. The invoice will be sent via email, and will include a link to facilitate payment.
