This form will send an email to Tamor Kriwaczek, which he will reply to as soon as he is able. From this point on you will be in contact on a personal basis with the artist in order to conclude your purchase.

Delivery

There are three options for getting your painting:

• By Post - small paintings only
  Paintings under 20 inches on their longest side can be sent by registered post, appropriately insured. The cost for this service is dependent on the particular painting(s), and will be set by Tamor Kriwaczek with a minimum payment of £30. The exact price will be communicated to the buyer and payment must be made before sending.
  Paintings being returned in the same way must be returned in their original packaging by the same postal service and at the buyers expense.
• Delivery by the artist
  Paintings can be delivered personally by Tamor Kriwaczek free of charge (excepting returns - see below for details), within the M25 area, and to some extent outside the M25 at Tamor Kriwaczek's discretion. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are eligible for this service simply send Tamor Kriwaczek a message through the "contact me directly" link, which is at the bottom of every page of this website, or click here.
• Collection from the artist
  Collection can be taken from the artist personally in North London at no charge. This arrangement can be made with Tamor Kriwaczek while making your purchase.

Returning a painting

If, for any reason, you are not happy with your painting, assuming no damage has been caused to the painting while in transit or while in your posession, you can return the painting for a full refund excluding delivery costs and framing costs, according to the details set out below.

• Returning paintings delivered by post
  Paintings sent by post must be returned in the same packaging, and by the same method, unless alternative arrangements are made with the artist. The postage costs must be paid by the buyer at the time it is sent. A full refund for the painting will be made on receipt of the painting by Tamor kriwaczek, as long as the painting is not damaged in any way. No refund will be made for the delivery costs.
  As an example, if a painting is bought for £300, and delivery costs £40, the buyer will pay a total of £340. When the painting is returned, the buyer must pay for delivery when they send it, and on receipt of the painting, Tamor Kriwaczek will refund you £340 minus £40 delivery charges = £300.

• Returning paintings delivered by the artist
  Paintings delivered by the artist free of charge will incur a charge of £20 each way when returned.
  As an example, if a painting is bought for £300 and delivered by the artist, the buyer will pay a total of £300. When the painting is returned, the buyer must pay the costs of delivering and returning the painting at a cost of £20 each way, a total of £40. On receipt of the painting, Tamor Kriwaczek will refund you £300 minus £40 delivery charges = £260.

• Returning paintings collected from the artist
  Paintings collected from the artist can be returned by the buyer to Tamor Kriwaczek by arrangement at no extra cost.

• Returning paintings that have been framed on request
  Paintings that have been framed by the artist on request of the buyer will incur a cost of half that of the total cost of framing. The calculations regarding delivery charges as already laid out above will also apply.
  As an example, if a painting is bought for £300 and is framed on request at a cost of £50 and delivered by the artist free of charge, the buyer will pay a total of £350. When the painting is returned, collected by the artist, Tamor Kriwaczek will refund you £300 minus £40 delivery charges plus £25 framing costs = £285.

In special circumstances alternative arrangements for returning a painting may be made by arrangement with the artist, Tamor Kriwaczek.

Framing

Example of a painting framed by Tamor Kriwaczek.

Paintings that are already framed have their frames included free of charge.

Tamor Kriwaczek does not normally provide a framing service, however, a painting may be framed on request of the buyer and at the artist's discretion, if the painting is not already framed. Frames made in this way will be built only in accordance to the artist's specifications, as if framing for exhibition, with the style and colour of frame solely the decision of the artist. Frames made in this way will incur a £50 charge, payable at the time of purchase, and can take up to 2 weeks to make. If a painting is returned, the buyer will be liable for half the framing costs (£25) which will be deducted from the amount refunded to the buyer as set out in the Returning a painting section of this page.
