SHIPPING POLICY

Effective August 15, 2026

Thank you for purchasing from Little Dog Art Studios. We take care in preparing, packaging, and shipping every order so that your artwork, collectible, print, or other purchase reaches you safely.

ORDER PROCESSING

Orders fulfilled directly by Little Dog Art Studios are generally processed and prepared for shipment within 1–3 business days after payment is confirmed.

Processing time is separate from carrier transit time.

Orders placed on weekends or holidays will generally begin processing on the next business day.

Original artwork, unusually large items, specially packaged artwork, custom products, or other items requiring additional preparation may take longer. If additional preparation time is expected, we will communicate that information when appropriate.

DOMESTIC SHIPPING RATES

For orders shipped within the United States:

Orders under $50: $5 standard shipping
Orders of $50 or more: Free standard shipping

The qualifying order amount for free shipping is calculated before applicable taxes and after discounts unless otherwise shown at checkout.

We currently do not offer an express-shipping option for studio-fulfilled products.

DELIVERY TIMES

Delivery dates and transit times shown during checkout or in shipping notifications are estimates.

Because Little Dog Art Studios generally requires 1–3 business days to prepare an order before shipment, the total time between placing an order and receiving it includes both:

order processing and preparation; and
carrier transit time.

Carrier transit times may vary depending on destination, weather, seasonal volume, carrier operations, or other circumstances outside our control.

TRACKING

When tracking is available, tracking information will be provided after your order ships.

Please allow reasonable time for the carrier to update tracking information after a shipping label has been created.

ORIGINAL ARTWORK

Original artwork may require specialized packaging, additional handling, insurance, or a shipping method appropriate for the size, value, and materials of the artwork.

If an original artwork requires shipping arrangements that differ from the standard rates or methods shown during checkout, those terms will be disclosed before or in connection with the applicable purchase.

Original artwork is packaged with particular care to help protect it during transit.

PRINT-ON-DEMAND PRODUCTS

Some Little Dog Art Studios products are produced and fulfilled by third-party print-on-demand partners.

These products may have different production and shipping timelines than items fulfilled directly by Little Dog Art Studios.

Because print-on-demand products may ship from a separate fulfillment location, an order containing both studio-fulfilled merchandise and print-on-demand products may arrive in multiple packages and on different dates.

Tracking information may also be provided separately for each shipment.

MULTIPLE SHIPMENTS

Products in a single order may occasionally ship separately because they:

are fulfilled from different locations;
require different packaging;
are produced by a print-on-demand partner; or
require specialized handling.

Receiving separate shipments does not necessarily indicate that an item is missing from your order.

SHIPPING ADDRESSES

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address during checkout.

Please carefully review your address before submitting your order.

If you discover an address error before the order has shipped, contact Little Dog Art Studios as soon as possible. We will make reasonable efforts to correct the address, but changes cannot be guaranteed once an order has entered fulfillment or has been transferred to a carrier.

Additional shipping charges caused by an incorrect or incomplete customer-provided address may be the customer's responsibility.

LOST, DELAYED, OR MISSING PACKAGES

Carrier delays can occasionally occur after an order leaves our studio or fulfillment partner.

If tracking indicates that your package is delayed, please allow reasonable time for the carrier to complete delivery.

If you believe a shipment has been lost, please contact Little Dog Art Studios with your order number so that we can review the shipment and, when appropriate, assist with the carrier investigation or claim process.

DAMAGED SHIPMENTS

Please inspect your order promptly after delivery.

If an item arrives damaged, retain the item and all original packaging and contact Little Dog Art Studios as soon as possible.

Please include:

your order number;
photographs of the damaged item;
photographs of the shipping container and packaging; and
photographs showing any visible damage to the package.

This information may be necessary to process a carrier or fulfillment claim.

Damaged, defective, or incorrectly fulfilled orders are also addressed in our Return and Refund Policy.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

International shipping is not currently enabled as part of our standard store launch.

We may add international destinations and shipping options in the future. Any applicable international shipping charges, duties, taxes, customs fees, restrictions, and delivery terms will be provided or addressed when international purchasing becomes available.
