SHIPPING INFORMATION

Packaging of Artworks

Reasonable care is taken to ensure artworks and products arrive safely and securely.

Packaging methods may vary depending on the artwork type and size:

  • Unframed canvas works are typically rolled carefully in a protective tube, ready for framing.
  • Unframed works on paper may be shipped flat with protective backing or rolled where appropriate.
  • Framed artworks are packaged with protective wrapping and reinforced cardboard for transit.
  • Smaller items such as books, prints, stationery, crystals, and meditation tools are securely packaged according to their size and fragility.

Processing & Dispatch Times

Ready-Made Works & Products

Please refer to individual product pages for general dispatch times. Orders are typically packaged and shipped within 3–5 business days.

Ordes requiring additional featured such as stretching, framing, customisation or personalisation, may require additional time of up to 2-3 weeks. Stretching and framing relies on third party suppliers and their scheduling, for which Leni Kae is not liable. 

Delivery within Australia generally occurs within 7–10 business days from the date of purchase, depending on location and courier timeframes.


Custom Artworks & Commissioned Pieces

Timing for custom artworks varies depending on size, detail, drying time, and materials.

Estimated turnaround times will be provided on a case-by-case basis. As a general guide, custom watercolour and acrylic artworks may require approximately 3–4 weeks for creation prior to shipping.

Please allow additional time for packaging and delivery.

For urgent commission enquiries, please contact the artist directly before purchase.

Shipping within Australia is included for most standard orders unless otherwise stated.
