WHEN YOU'VE MADE A SALE...
1. You’ll receive an email informing you of the sale. You’ll also receive information regarding the next steps you’ll need to take in order for us to successfully deliver the artwork to the buyer. These steps include:
-
Scheduling a date and time for our courier to pick up your sold artwork. (Courier pick up should occur within 2 - 3 days of when the buyer purchased the work.)
-
Writing us back to acknowledge that you've read and understand the JV Studio Art Packaging Guidelines (PDF attached to this article, see below) to ensure that you know how to properly package your artwork for shipment
NOTE: It’s very important that you immediately schedule a courier pick up date and time after being notified that your artwork has sold.
2. If 48 hours pass and you haven't scheduled a pick up date, you'll receive a phone call and email from our Artist Support Team.
3. Within two days before your pickup date, you’ll receive an email from us with a shipping label. Be on the look out for our emails.
4. A courier service will arrive on the date you requested to collect your package and the shipping documents. Please make sure to hand all labels and shipping documents over to the courier.
