SHIPPING & RETURNS
From my studio in Gothenburg to your home
1. SHIPPING & DELIVERY
Worldwide Shipping
BromvikArt ships from Sweden to customers worldwide.
Fine Art Prints are normally dispatched within 2 business days after the order has been confirmed.
Original paintings and limited editions are normally dispatched within 2–7 business days, unless otherwise stated on the product page or communicated to the customer.
Delivery time after dispatch depends on the destination, carrier, customs processing and other circumstances outside BromvikArt's control. Any delivery estimate shown at checkout is therefore an estimate rather than a guaranteed delivery date.
Shipping costs are calculated and displayed at checkout before the order is completed.
Original Paintings
Original paintings measuring up to and including 50 × 50 cm are normally shipped stretched on their wooden stretcher frame. Larger paintings are normally carefully removed from their stretcher frame and shipped rolled to reduce the risk and cost associated with international transport. For paintings delivered rolled, new stretcher bars, re-stretching and any framing at the destination are not included unless specifically agreed otherwise.
Collection in Gothenburg
Local collection in Gothenburg may be arranged. For collection, original paintings can be supplied stretched on their wooden frame, including larger works that would otherwise be shipped rolled. Collection arrangements are confirmed separately with BromvikArt.
Customs & Import Charges
For deliveries outside Sweden, customs duties, import VAT, brokerage fees or other local charges may apply. These charges are determined by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in the product or shipping price unless explicitly stated otherwise. BromvikArt cannot control or predict these charges.
Risk During Delivery
BromvikArt is responsible for the artwork until it has been delivered to you in accordance with applicable consumer law. Please inspect the package and artwork as soon as possible after delivery.
Consumers purchasing online generally have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal under Swedish distance selling legislation, unless a legal exception applies. The withdrawal period begins the day after you receive the goods.
To use your right of withdrawal, you must clearly notify BromvikArt within the 14-day period. Contact may be made by email at BromvikArt@gmail.com or through the Contact page. Simply refusing delivery or failing to collect a parcel does not in itself constitute a valid withdrawal. After notifying BromvikArt, the item must be returned without undue delay and no later than 14 days after the withdrawal notification.
Condition of Returned Artwork:
You may inspect the artwork or product to the extent reasonably necessary to determine its nature and characteristics. Please return it carefully packed and, whenever possible, using the original protective packaging.
If an item has been handled beyond what is necessary to inspect it and this results in a reduction in value, BromvikArt may make a deduction corresponding to that reduction in value where permitted by law.
2. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL & RETURNS
Return Shipping
The customer is responsible for the direct cost of return shipping when exercising the right of withdrawal.
For valuable artwork, BromvikArt strongly recommends using a tracked and adequately insured shipping service.
Larger original artworks may require specialist return transport and the cost can be considerably higher than ordinary parcel shipping. Where an artwork cannot normally be returned by standard postal service, information or an estimate regarding the direct return cost will be provided before purchase.
Returns should be sent to:
Ann-Marie Brömvik
Odinsplatsen 3A
411 02 Gothenburg, Sweden
Please include your name and order number with the return.
Refunds
When a valid right of withdrawal is exercised for the complete order, BromvikArt will refund the purchase price together with the cost of the standard delivery option originally offered. Any additional cost resulting from the customer choosing a more expensive delivery method than the standard option does not have to be refunded.
The refund will normally be made using the same payment method used for the original purchase. BromvikArt may withhold the refund until the returned goods have been received.
Custom & Personalised Artwork
The statutory right of withdrawal does not apply where an artwork or product has been specially created or clearly personalised according to the customer's individual instructions, where the applicable legal requirements for this exception are fulfilled.
This may include commissioned paintings, personalised artwork or other uniquely customised products.
3. DAMAGED, DEFECTIVE OR INCORRECT ORDERS
If you believe that an item is defective, incorrect or has been damaged during transport, please contact BromvikArt as soon as possible. Please include your order number together with photographs showing:
the artwork or product
the damage or defect
the outer packaging
the internal protective packaging
Please retain all packaging until the matter has been resolved, as the carrier may require it when investigating transport damage.
Where a complaint is accepted as valid, BromvikArt will cover the necessary return shipping and provide an appropriate remedy in accordance with applicable consumer law.
Because original paintings are unique, replacement with an identical original artwork is not possible. For full information regarding statutory complaint rights and defects, please see our Terms & Conditions
4. UNCOLLECTED OR UNDELIVERABLE PARCELS
Customers are responsible for collecting or accepting their delivery within the period specified by the carrier. A parcel that is not collected or accepted is not automatically considered a returned or cancelled order.
If a shipment is returned to BromvikArt because it was not collected, because an incorrect delivery address was supplied by the customer, or because delivery could not be completed for reasons attributable to the customer, BromvikArt may require payment of the direct additional shipping costs before sending the order again. This does not affect any statutory right of withdrawal, provided that the right is exercised correctly and within the applicable time limit.
