Acquiring
Art is Simple at Artbrokering.com
Congratulations!
Youve discovered a piece of art that youd like to acquire
from Artbrokering.com. Your
next steps are very simple.
PURCHASES
First, just give us a call during regular business hours, without
ANY obligation, to (323) 939-3533 or toll-free outside of Southern
California to (888) 295-2454 (emails are also acceptable, but please
include a return phone number with the best time to call.) After
our contact, well quickly confirm the price of the artwork
youve chosen and determine if the work is in our inventory
stock or if we will be acquiring the work on your behalf from another
source. If the work you desire is in our inventory, we can immediately
arrange for quick delivery and usually have the work hanging on
your wall within just a few days. Payment
is simple and safe via check or credit card.
If
you require, we can easily provide you with further details, photographs
and/or answers to questions that may not be presently addressed
in our site. Our goal is to provide you with real-time, personalized
service and provide any additional information that may not have
been discussed online information that will help to assist
in your transaction and make your purchase experience hassle-free.
If
your selected work of art is in stock, well quote you shipping
costs, fax/mail/email you your invoice, make payment arrangements
(please refer to Payment Policies for details) and prepare your
artwork for shipment, TYPICALLY WITHIN TWO BUSINESS DAYS.
Depending
upon the method of transport you select, our art handlers can arrange
for extraordinarily quick transport. Youll find that our turnaround
time is quite different from other online art sites and galleries
who can commonly impose delivery delays of two to four weeks. In
many cases, Artbrokering.com can guarantee that an in-stock work
of art will arrive on your doorstep in as quickly as two days after
receipt of your payment has been confirmed! Plus, if youre
local to us in the Los Angeles/Beverly Hills area, delivery and
basic installation is provided without any charge to you.
For
works of art on the site which are not in our stock or works which
you may have found from another resource or gallery and wish to
acquire at a potentially lower price, we do all of the legwork for
you. We have brokered so many acquisitions over the years, negotiating
between you and our growing list of sellers is second nature to
us. By searching our database of resources with whom we do business,
we can locate virtually any work you desire. Typically, within a
time frame of just forty-eight hours after your request, well
supply you with all of the information regarding availability, lowest
price, framing, condition and expected shipping time.
Please note:
All artwork on this website is subject to prior sale.
SHIPPING
Unlike other websites that may have their respective artists
ship their art to you directly, Artbrokering.com handles all aspects
of packing and shipping. We feel that an artists time,
skill and energy is best spent on creating your fine art, not on
measuring bubble wrap. Our skilled professional shippers may not
be the best painters, but you can count on them to prepare and ship
your art with the finest care and in the shortest time possible.
Regarding
shipping, our cost is what you pay. Its as simple as
that. While some other online galleries and galleries can schedule
their shipping charges based on your TOTAL DOLLAR PURCHASE, we base
your shipping charges individually, based solely on the SIZE AND
WEIGHT of the item purchased. The following example will clarify
how this benefits you. Using another online site or gallery,
an etching by Sam Francis, for example, measuring 30 x 40 inches
and costing $10,000.00 may cost you an immense 10 percent flat fee
for delivery. Thats $1,000.00 in shipping charges alone! With
Artbrokering.com, that same Sam Francis etching can be delivered
to your door, using the same secure methods of packing and transport,
for a shipping charge as low as $200.00. Plus, with Artbrokering.com,
you can also expect to save approximately 20% ($2,000.00) off of
their price on the artwork. Adding those numbers can translate into
a VERY realistic and VERY meaningful $3,000.00 in real dollar savings!
RETURNS
Although our return rate has been close to zero over the past decade,
returning works of art purchased from our inventory is very simple.
Within three days of receipt of the work of art (e.g. if you receive
the work on a Wednesday, well need to have your return request
by that Friday), you may return the work after you've contacted
us by telephone. It must be securely packed in the original carton
and in the same condition as it was delivered and insured by you
for the full purchase price. Once we receive and inspect the
work, we'll immediately provide you a full refund of the cost of
the artwork or an exchange credit for another work.
For works of art that we have brokered for you, which were not sold
from our in-stock inventory (acquired from another dealer or resource),
these also may be returned to us within three days of receipt of
the work of art. Call us by telephone prior to returning any artwork.
Once we receive it securely packed in the original carton and
in the same condition as it was delivered and insured by
you for the full purchase price. Once we receive and inpect
the work, we'll immediately provide an exchange credit for another
work. In some cases, based on individual circumstances and the policy
of our associate resources from which we are acquiring the work
on your behalf, some brokered artwork can actually be returned for
a full refund of the cost of the artwork. We will make every effort
to guarantee this upon your purchase. These details will be addressed
and clarified upon your request to purchase any brokered artwork.
