PURCHASING ARTWORK.

Currency.

All prices quoted are in Australian dollars ( AUD$ ) and are inclusive of GST.

Duties and Taxes.

Artworks delivered within Australia are subject to the 10% Australian Goods And Services Tax ( GST ,). All prices quoted include the GST. International purchases, where the artwork leaves Australia, are exempt of this GST and their price can be calculated by dividing the quoted price by 1.1 .

Payment methods:

In line with our policy to offer artwork at the keenest possible price, Artica only accepts payment by cheque, money order, or bank transfer. Cheques and money orders should be made payable to ' Artica Art Investment Consultants and Advisors Pty Ltd '.For bank transfers, please e-mail us for transaction details.

SHIPPING AND INSURANCE.

Artica provides a comprehensive range of professional packing and shipping solutions for both national and international clients. Deliveries are arranged as a direct, door-to-door service and we only use companies experienced in the handling of fine art.

Artworks are normally dispatched on the day of purchase.

Our paintings are first wrapped in conservation quality materials before being crated, whilst our sculpture, studio glass and ceramic artworks are individually fitted into their own foam-injected, made-to-measure boxes.

Insurance is a highly recommended option and costs 2% of the artwork's value, regardless of destination.

As shipping costs vary and are calculated by either weight or volume ( whichever is the greater ), please inquire with us for an accurate quote.

International clients please note that the 10% price saving by the deduction of Australia's Goods Services Tax ( GST ) on all overseas consignments, is normally quite sufficient to cover all your shipping and insurance costs.

Other Services

Artica can arrange for the professional stretching, framing, or hanging of artworks through businesses who have agreed to provide very competitive rates to our clients.
