How does Flat Rate Shipping work?

Select auctions on Artsy have a Flat Rate Shipping policy. In such auctions, works are subject to Artsy’s domestic and international flat rates:

Customized Shipping: Please check the lot description to verify shipping costs. Due to delivery location, value, fragility and/or size, not all items are eligible for flat-rate shipping. Select locations outside of the US/EU/UK are not eligible for flat rates. One of our Post-Sale representatives will get in touch with you after the auction closes with a custom shipping quote. Please reach out to specialist@artsy.net for a pre-bid quote.

We are unable to facilitate shipment to the following countries: Iran, Syria, Sudan, North Korea, Ukraine, Crimea, Cuba, Belarus, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Zimbabwe.

Note: Artsy will collect sales tax, as applicable, with respect to any work shipping to a purchaser in the contiguous U.S. or being picked up in a contiguous U.S. state where the Seller is located. Sales tax, will automatically be included in the Total Purchase Price and will be based on the delivery destination for the work, unless state law requires a different basis for computing the applicable sales tax.

Note: Delays in post-sale arrangements may occur given the COVID-19 related challenges businesses are facing during this time. Please allow approximately 3-5 weeks for shipment after you have paid the Total Purchase Price. Shipping timelines are dependent upon the availability of the seller to release the purchased property and are subject to change.
