Shipping
We ship our sculptures all over the world. Most of our shipments go to the USA, the UK and Canada.
Shipping costs
Shipping is calculated at checkout from the shipping weight of the piece (the real weight with packaging, or the size of the box, whichever is greater) and the destination country. You can also see the cost to the USA and the EU on every product page.
Prices per shipment in US dollars. Find the row with the shipping weight of your piece and read across to your region. If you shop in euros, pounds or złoty, your cart and checkout show the same cost in your currency, converted at the daily exchange rate.

Why a light sculpture can cost more to ship
Couriers price a parcel by its weight or by its size, whichever is greater. The size is turned into a volumetric weight: the length, width and height of the box in centimeters multiplied together and divided by 5,000. Our sculptures travel in strong boxes with padding on every side, so a large but light piece often has a volumetric weight far higher than its real weight.
Example: our Viking ship weighs 6 kg (13 lb), but its box measures about 57 × 47 × 39 cm, which gives a volumetric weight of 20.9 kg (46 lb). That is why it falls in the “up to 25 kg” row. Every product page shows the shipping weight we use for that piece, so you know the cost before you order.
Lead time
Most of our pieces are made to order. Production usually takes 30 to 60 days and occasionally longer. The exact lead time depends on the type and size of the sculpture and on how busy our workshop is at the time of your order. If you need a piece by a certain date, contact us before you order and we will confirm the lead time for that sculpture. Some sculptures are in stock and ready to ship right away.
How we ship
Standard sizes travel by tracked courier. Large works may go by sea, well protected in wooden crates.
Duties and taxes
Import duties, taxes and customs fees charged in your country are paid by the buyer.
