Free Shipping for orders over $100.00* (*some exceptions, see below for details)
   
  Shipping is free for orders over $100.00 that can be shipped via standard DHL, FedEx or UPS ground service within the Continental United States.  Standard ground service is defined as packages not exceeding Oversize Two (length plus girth of 130 inches, 70 lbs in weight).

Orders $100.00 or less will be charged a $10.00 shipping and handling charge.

Some items, due to their size or weight do not qualify for standard ground service.  These items, as noted in the catalog, require shipment by truck.  Shipping charges will apply if non-standard or air (overnight, next day or third day) shipment is required. Your approval of shipping charges will be obtained before the order is processed. All shipments are FOB point of origin.

Some Tom Torrens and Cricket Forge items are shipped via truck, as noted in the catalog.  The cost of standard truck shipping is included in the price.  Special truck shipment  services, such as liftgate delivery, delivery to rural areas, or driveways not suitable for large trucks may incur additional delivery charges payable by the customer.  In the event of a merchandise return, the cost of shipping to the customer will be deducted from the refund.  Please be aware that truck shipments for Torrens sculptures typically range from $300 - $400.

Free shipping does not apply to items on sale or custom orders, unless otherwise stated.

If you request air shipment, we will use our best efforts to ensure your package reaches its destination within the time frame required.  Because we have no control over the performance of the shipping companies, no refunds for shipping charges will be given for late deliveries.

Please verify the shipping address before placing your order.  In the event we incur additional shipping charges due to an incorrect or undeliverable address, you will be billed for such charges.

We take great care to see that your purchase arrives safely at your door. In the past twenty-two years we have successfully shipped thousands of items throughout the United States.

Custom Work

Many of our artists accept commissions for custom work to meet your specific requirements.  This can involve custom sizes or colors for an existing design, or the creation of a completely new design.  For new designs, the artist may require an up-front, non-refundable design fee to produce sketches or samples.  The design fee is applied to the purchase price of the item if you decide to go ahead with the project.  A minimum deposit of 1/2 the value of the order is required when the order is placed.  The balance is due when the order is ready to ship.  If the order is cancelled, you will be billed for work completed to the date of cancellation.  Please note that custom pieces made to your specifications are not returnable.
