1. Professional Packing Process

Upon receiving payment confirmation, our in-house team initiates our meticulous packing process:

  • Custom-built palletized wooden crates for each item
  • State-of-the-art blow-in foam packing for maximum protection, applied on an item-by-item basis
  • Special attention to ornate and fragile elements
  • Secure packaging to prevent chipping or cracking during transit

2. Delivery Options

We offer two flexible delivery options to ensure your satisfaction:

  1. Customer-Arranged Shipping:
    • You have the option to arrange shipping on your own for your purchased item.
    • No additional shipping charge will be applied by Fine's Gallery for this option.
    • Upon professional crating and preparation of your item, you will be notified that it is ready for pickup.
    • You will have 15 days from the notification date to effect the pickup of the item.
    • Please note: After the 15-day period, you may be liable for holding charges. These charges will be clearly communicated if applicable.
  2. Fine's Gallery Shipping:
    • You can choose to ship through Fine's Gallery for added convenience.
    • Upon order submission, we will prepare a customized direct-truck shipping quote.
    • This quote will be included in the full invoice, which will be sent to you within 24-48 hours of order placement.
    • We utilize direct truck delivery to your location to minimize handling and transfer points.
    • All shipments arranged through Fine's Gallery are fully insured.

3. Insurance and Inspection

While all items shipped through Fine's Gallery are fully insured, it is crucial to note:

  • It is the customer's responsibility to inspect all items upon delivery.
  • If any damage is discovered, you must notify the shipping company and file an insurance claim within 48 hours of delivery.
  • This prompt action is essential to ensure proper handling of any potential issues.

4. International Shipping

We offer worldwide shipping, but international orders require special considerations:

  • For international orders, please coordinate directly with our sales team.
  • Contact us via phone at 239-277-0009 or email at sales@finesgallery.com for personalized assistance.
  • Our team will guide you through any additional requirements or considerations for international shipping.

5. Shipping Timeframes

Upon payment confirmation, we prepare your item for shipment within 2 business days. For domestic U.S. shipments through Fine's Gallery, typical transit time is up to 20 additional days. While we strive to meet these timeframes, we cannot guarantee specific delivery dates due to the nature of direct truck deliveries and potential unforeseen circumstances. Shipping times may vary based on factors such as destination, customs procedures (for international orders), and current logistics conditions.

6. Customer Responsibility

To ensure a smooth delivery process:

  • Please ensure you have adequate space at the delivery location to receive the item safely.
  • If required, arrange for necessary equipment (such as a forklift) to be available at the time of delivery.

7. Liability Disclaimer

By choosing to ship through Fine's Gallery Internet, LLC, the customer agrees to release, indemnify, and hold Fine's Gallery Internet, LLC harmless with respect to any damages that may occur during shipping, as well as any disputes that may arise between the customer and the freight carrier.
