Damaged or Faulty Items
If your canvas arrives damaged in transit or has a manufacturing fault, we will resolve this at no cost to you. This is our highest priority and we take every damaged delivery seriously.
What to do if your order arrives damaged:
-
Do not discard the packaging — retain the box and all packing materials
-
Take clear photographs of the damaged outer packaging and the damaged canvas
-
Email the photographs to contact@deanturnerart.com within 48 hours of delivery
-
Include your order number and a brief description of the damage
Your options for damaged items:
Once we have reviewed the photographs, you may choose from the following:
|
Full replacement |
We will send you a brand new canvas at no cost. You keep the damaged item — no return required. |
|
Full refund |
We will refund the full purchase price to your original payment method within 5-10 business days. |
|
Partial refund |
If the damage is minor and you wish to keep the canvas, we can discuss a partial refund appropriate to the level of damage. |
You do not need to return the damaged canvas. We will manage the insurance claim with our carrier directly.
Change of Mind Returns
We understand that purchasing art online is a significant decision. If you have received your canvas in perfect condition but would like to return it for reasons other than damage or fault, please contact us within 30 days of your purchase date and we will assess your situation individually.
Change of mind returns are assessed case by case by Dean or Mary. We will always try to find a solution that works for you. Outcomes may include a full refund, partial refund, exchange, or store credit depending on the circumstances.
Conditions for change of mind returns:
-
Request must be submitted within 30 days of purchase date
-
You must contact us before sending the item back — do not return without prior approval
-
The canvas must be in its original condition, uninstalled, and in original packaging where possible
-
Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer
-
We recommend using a trackable, insured shipping service for all returns
Exchanges
We accept exchanges within 30 days of your purchase date. If you would like to swap your canvas for a different artwork from our collection, please contact us and we will arrange this where stock is available.
Exchange conditions:
-
Request must be made within 30 days of purchase date
-
Contact us before returning — do not send items back without prior approval
-
The original canvas must be returned in its original condition
-
Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility

Refund Process & Timing
How refunds are processed:
|
Refund method |
All refunds are returned to the original payment method used at checkout (credit card, PayPal, AfterPay, Shop Pay, etc.) |
|
Processing time |
Once your return is received and approved, please allow 5-10 business days for the refund to appear in your account |
|
Bank processing |
Depending on your bank or payment provider, it may take an additional 2-5 business days for the funds to appear after we process the refund |
|
Notification |
We will email you to confirm when your refund has been processed |
|
AfterPay and Shop Pay refunds are returned to those platforms respectively. If you have already made repayments, AfterPay or Shop Pay will return those amounts to your payment method on file with them. |
Return Shipping Costs
For all returns (except damaged or faulty items), return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. We recommend the following when returning items:
-
Use a trackable shipping service — we cannot be responsible for items lost in return transit
-
Consider purchasing shipping insurance for the full value of the canvas
-
Keep your proof of postage until your refund has been confirmed
-
Do not send returns to our home address without prior approval — we will provide the correct return address when your return is approved
Return shipping costs are non-refundable. If a refund is approved, the return shipping cost you paid will not be included in your refund amount.
International Orders
For international orders (outside Australia and the United States), returns are assessed on a case by case basis due to the complexity and cost of international return shipping. In many cases, rather than requiring a physical return, we will offer:
-
A full or partial refund without requiring the item to be returned
-
A replacement canvas shipped at no cost for damaged or faulty items
-
A resolution that avoids the cost and risk of international return shipping
Please contact us at contact@deanturnerart.com before attempting to return any international order. Do not return items internationally without prior written approval from us.
Please note: Any customs duties, taxes, or import fees paid when your order arrived are not refundable by Dean Turner Art. These are charged by your country's customs authority and are outside our control.
Items & Situations Not Eligible for Refund
-
Requests made more than 30 days after the purchase date (unless item is damaged — contact us regardless)
-
Items that have been installed, hung, or altered in any way
-
Damage caused after delivery (e.g. accidental damage in the home)
-
Items returned without prior approval
-
Return shipping costs
-
Customs, duties, or import taxes paid by the customer
