The additional length of time for which we will hold your goods is solely at our discretion. Though we take as much care as possible with handling and storing the artworks and frames, due to restricted storage space and a high volume of orders coming and going, Art Friend can not take responsibility for damage that comes to the artwork or frame beyond our standard storage period of 3 weeks, 1 week for oversized pieces.

If you would like us to hold them for longer you must advise us, quoting your order number. The additional length of time for which we will hold your goods is solely at our discretion. If you would like us to hold your larger items for longer than 5 business days after we have advised you that they are available for collection, we may do so upon payment of a non-refundable storage fee. This storage fee is usually £15 per item per week. You must advise us as soon as we notify you that your goods are available if you want to arrange a longer storage period. Once the standard, or pre-arranged longer storage period has elapsed we will refund the original cost of your order, excluding any longer term storage payment, and return the goods to stock for re-sale.

17. EDITION NUMBERS
Art Friend cannot guarantee the edition number you will receive for each artwork. We will always endeavour to send you your artwork in absolutely mint condition and within the delivery time you select on checkout, to ensure we achieve this, it can mean that we will assign you a new edition number if the one selected was not in mint condition, or off site. If you would like to request a specific edition number, or would like to request the one you are assigned in your confirmation email, please get in touch as soon as you have placed your order to allow time for your preferred edition number to be confirmed. We do our best to make sure you receive the edition number if specifically requested, but we can never fully guarantee this will be the case. If you would like to confirm your exact edition number prior to dispatch, give us a call or drop us an email to do this.
Edition numbers cannot be changed after your order has been dispatched, and if you would like to change edition number once your order has arrived with you, the customer is responsible for all costs incurred. If you would like to request a specific number, please contact the gallery as soon as your order is made.
