Yes! We offer accounts for Primary and Secondary Schools, Universities and Colleges. Please email customerservice@artshedonline.com.au if you would like a credit application form.

Art Shed is a retail store so we are unable to offer wholesale pricing. 

We offer both options for online orders only. 

ZipPay does not require a minimum purchase amount and further information can be viewed here.

AfterPay requires a minimum purchase amount of $70, further information can be viewed here.

Our delivery estimates for stock are dependent on our suppliers and shipping carriers. We recommend clicking the ‘Notify Me’ button on the product page you are after so you will receive an email as soon as we receive stock back in.

As we have a physical store as well as online, there are rare circumstances whereby stock discrepancies can occur. If this does happen and your order cannot be completed in full, a member of our team will be in contact within 24 hours to have this resolved.

Some of our larger canvases have a minimum ordering quantity of 2 to heavily reduce the risk of damage in transit. If you just need 1 canvas of this size and are based in Victoria, you are welcome to contact us directly to arrange a click & collect order, or a Metro Melbourne courier.

As a valued customer, your feedback matters. By leaving a review you’re helping fellow creatives make an informed decision about their purchases, as well as helping us provide the best service possible.

You can leave a Google review for Art Shed by clicking this link: https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJC5N7SHZs1moRJPE78tyV_iw

Alternatively, reviews can be left on specific items by going to the product page on our website > Reviews > ‘Write a Review’. If you would like to provide any feedback directly to our team, we are available via email, LiveChat and phone.

If you have a school account set up with us you can email purchase orders to us at customerservice@artshedonline.com.au or alternatively you can place them online using your account. 

 

To place an order online you will need to log in, add the items you are after to cart and then select ‘bank transfer’ as the payment method when checking out. It is also best to email us after you have completed this process and we can provide an ETA of arrival and ensure it gets processed as soon as possible.

In rare cases, suppliers will update or change the appearance of their packaging and unfortunately, at times, there can be a delay with updating this on our website. We do try our best to have the most up to date packaging pictured. If you did want specific packaging for an item it is best to check with our customer service team prior to purchase. 

Any changes to an actual product will be updated as a priority, and we can assure you that even if packaging may appear different, the product will be the same.

Our packing team does their best to reuse as many of our empty product boxes as possible to pack and dispatch orders. Therefore, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee canvases will be sent in the original size packaging as we receive these in bulk in cartons. If you do want to ensure you get the same packaging size as the canvas we would recommend purchasing a full box quantity from the Mont Marte Professional Series range.

If you would like to reuse the packaging you receive your order in for your own business, you are welcome to do so, though we are unable to forward any special packaging requests to the warehouse team. 

If you would like further information on how your order will be packaged, please see FAQ ‘How will my order be packaged?’ 

Our range of stretched canvases come in a Signature/Studio range and the Premium/Professional range. 

 

The Signature/studio range is perfect for students and beginners, or those after a budget-friendly option. 

 

The Premium/Professional range is a great option for artists or those after a higher quality canvas.

 

Both the studio and professional range comes in a Single or Double Thick profile which will determine how far the canvas sticks out from the wall when hung. The single thick will sit more flush/ closer to the wall, while the double thick has a far more distinct and bold presence and appears to “jump out” from the environment with its thicker sides. 

We also sell shaped canvases, canvas panels and wooden boards.

Check out our blog here on how to choose the perfect canvas for you!

Gift vouchers are for use at Art Shed Online/ Art Shed Moorabbin Only.

Please note that we do not offer refunds for gift vouchers for change of mind or mistake orders.

We can do our best to accommodate adding or editing orders however, once the order has reached the pack/dispatch stage we are unable to add to, change, or cancel an order.

We know you want your Art Supplies in your hands as soon as possible, so Art Shed Online have partnered with Australia Post and Star Track Express to deliver your parcel fast and efficiently.

Eparcel Standard: This is the most commonly used postage method. We receive special rates with Australia Post, and therefore are able to pass on those rates to you! These rates are calculated at checkout based on the size and weight of the items ordered.

Eparcel Express: The Express Post delivery network provides the fastest possible delivery.

 

Startrack Bulky Freight Delivery: If your order includes bulky items, it will need to be shipped via a courier service - we use Startrack express for all of our bulky freight. Bulky typically refers to items over 22kgs, or larger than 100cm. Please note bulky freight courier service fees can be higher than standard post charges.

Same/next business day courier: Please note this service can be arranged for Melbourne Metro addresses only. If you would like a quote for this service, please contact our team directly via phone, email or LiveChat.

Delivery times are completely dependent on the shipping carrier - the following are estimates only: 

Metro Melbourne: 2-4 business days

Regional Victoria: Up to 5 business days

NSW, QLD, SA, TAS, WA, NT: 3-10 business days depending on lodgement and destination points.

 

Please note ‘days’ refers to business days/working days, therefore, does not account for weekends or public holidays.

We are currently NOT shipping internationally due to extreme international parcel delivery delays as a result of Covid-19. We will resume posting internationally once the networks recover. We have resumed shipping to New Zealand only as services have stabilized.

If you would like to be notified of when we reopen International Shipping, you can sign up to our mailing list, as this is how we like to keep our customers in the loop with updates on the store.

You will receive an email with tracking information once your order has been dispatched from us. Alternatively, you can enter your information here for tracking details.

You can also contact our customer service representatives for assistance.

For orders sent via Australia Post, a signature is required unless authority to leave has been left as delivery instructions on your order. 

Whether the order can be left in a safe place or not at your nominated address is completely up to the discretion of the delivery driver, unfortunately, we have no control over this. 

 

Delivery drivers will not leave the parcel at your nominated address under the following conditions:

• The front of the property is near the street in view of passers-by
• The location is not protected from the weather
• The driver would have to leave their bike unattended or out of sight 
• They are uncertain if there are dogs present or a pet that may interfere with the parcel
• It’s an apartment where we only have ground level, common area access
• The driver feels that the parcel will be unsafe due to other factors

If the driver deems your shipping address unsafe to leave, they will take it to a local post office for collection.

For orders sent via StarTrack, if you are not home at the time of delivery, a slip will be left and you will be able to arrange re-delivery for a more suitable time.

We are taking steps to be as environmentally friendly as possible, and try to use eco-conscious recycled boxes and internal packing wherever possible. We actively try to reduce waste by using minimal packaging while still ensuring your products arrive safely. This includes salvaging excess cardboard, boxes and mailers, that we shred and use a protective filler for your order. Some larger products are also pre-packaged by our suppliers, and in such cases, we do not add excess packaging to reduce excess waste and double handling, and ultimately reduce our environmental footprint.

Due to international air freight regulations we are unable to supply aerosol products to New Zealand customers. This includes any and all spray products, varnishes, paints and fixatives.

 

Unfortunately, we are unable to allow external courier companies to collect your order on your behalf. Please contact our online team if you are after a quote for shipping costs. 

We know it's hard to purchase online as you cannot touch and feel the product. Purchased a gift that’s not quite right? That's ok!

The membership offers special discounted pricing on particular products, early sales alerts, invitations to events and VIP email offers. You can sign up in person when you visit our Moorabbin store, or by contacing our Customer Service Team. It is currently not possible to sign up via the website.
