FAQ - Shipping & Delivery

• Problems with a shipment or lost package

  If there seems to be a problem with your package according to the tracking information provided to you, we advise you to first try and contact the courier or postal service directly. This is because they will have the most accurate and up-to-date information about your package. If that doesn't resolve your problem, you can always reach out to us and we can open an inquiry with the courier or postal service.
  
  If you suspect your shipment may be missing, you should contact both the courier or postal service and Cook and Becker as soon as possible. If you contact us within 3 months of your order date, we can help you with a refund or replacement. After that we are unfortunately unable to file a damage- or missing item claim with the shipping companies.

• Shipping costs

  You can find the cost of shipping to your address in the order form next to the artwork or product and during checkout. This estimate is based on your country location. The definitive shipping costs will be confirmed at the end of the check-out process once you entered your delivery address.

• Do I need to pay customs duties?

  For shipments within the US or EU countries there are no customs duties or import taxes. Shipments to the rest of the world may or may not be subject to import taxes or customs fees collected by your government. These charges are mandated by the destination country and will often be collected by the shipping courier at the time of delivery. We cannot predict or avoid them. All information needed for customs processing is contained on your package's shipping label.
