Why have I been asked to supply an image of my I.D?
UK
law requires proof of age when purchasing restricted items including
solvents, spray paints and blades or cutting tools. To adhere to these
laws, when purchasing these items online you will be asked to provide
proof of age by means of a photo image of your identification documents
(drivers licence, passport, etc.) sent by email to our customer services
team.
This is required when purchasing:
Solvents (may only be sold to those of 18 years of older)
Spray cans (may only be sold to those of 16 years or older)
Cutting tools or blades (may only be sold to those of 18 years or older)
if a product requires I.D. verification upon purchase it will be indicated on the product page.
Please note, that if you have paid by a credit card in your name then we will not require additional identification. Paypal and debit card payments will need to provide alternative identification.
Once you are confirmed of legal age, we will retain this information in accordance with GDPR guidelines to allow us to verify future purchases of age restricted items. You may find our full Privacy Policy here.
Within 10 business days your order will arrive at your doorstep.
Our friendly customer service team will be able to provide you tracking details close to delivery time. This should become available after 7 working days. Please email welcome@greatart.co.uk for more information.
This information can be found in your account on our webshop in the tab: "order history"
Status "processing"
Don't worry, we are working on your order! As soon as the carrier picks up your order, you will receive a tracking e-mail.
How much do you charge for delivery?
Subject to condition 3.2, we will charge the following for standard delivery within the United Kingdom (all prices inclusive of VAT):
- free for orders of £75.00 or more;
- £4.95 for orders between £25.00 and £74.99;
- £6.95 for orders of £24.99 or less.
Brushes and 'small items' are indicated with a symbol on their individual product page.
If your order contains only products that are marked with this symbol your order will be assessed accordingly:
- FREE for brush and small item only orders of £34.95 or more
- £2.95 for brush and small item only orders of £34.94 or less
An additional delivery charge of £5 will be applied for Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland (BT), UK Offshore islands, Channel Islands, Isle of Man (IM), Perth (PH), Inverness (IV), Krikwall (KW), Paisley (PA), Lerwick (ZE), Kilmarnock (KA), Outer Hebrides (HS), Isle of Wight (PO), Guernsey (GY) and Jersey (JE)). This is due to different policies operated by our carrier to deliver to these areas. In respect of such orders the total delivery costs will be notified to you prior to the dispatch and/or payment. During promotions such as "Free delivery weekend", the areas above will still be required to pay the additional charge of £5, unless otherwise stated.
You can see which products should be delivered on the packing slip that accompanies your order. To prevent damage, products are sometimes sent separately. It is therefore possible that another delivery is on its way to you. In this case, you'll see multiple parcels in your order-history.
Not on the packing list? Unfortunately those products were not available anymore.
The purchase amount of these unavailable products will then be refunded to your bank account within 14 days.
