Payment Methods
We accept E-transfers to art at lloydgallery com, personal cheques, VISA /MC, and cash. A monthly payment plan is also available on request. Confidentiality is assured that your personal information will be used solely for purposes of filling your order. Any prices listed are in Canadian dollars ($CAD); UF means unframed and FR means framed. Note that framing around artwork changes regularly; and thus prices are subject to change. In the case of a discrepancy, the in-store framed price is considered correct. As well, an artist's retail price list (at all their galleries) changes slightly every few years, and although every effort is made to update the available artwork online, if there is any discrepancy in an unframed price, the in-gallery price will be most current and considered correct. Any listed prices on the website do not include applicable sales tax (BC is 5%GST plus 7%PST; many provinces are just 5% GST and a small shipping fee.) changes, and in the case of a discrepancy, the price listed at the gallery will be correct. To see approximate equivalents in your currency, here is a currency converter.
No-Interest Payment Plan
For all purchases, the gallery's Payment Plan service offers the opportunity to pay by installments over a specified time (3, 6, 9, 12, 24 months or more) with no charges or interest. For example, for a $3000 painting+ 12% tax = $3360 total cost: 6 payments of $560 or 12 payments of $280/month. The payments are charged on a day you choose each month to your credit card, or with postdated personal cheques. We encourage you to take advantage of the flexibility provided by our Payment Plan service, as short and long term payments make it possible to build a beautiful original art collection. Please call us at 1-250-492-4484 if you require more information or would like to discuss a personalized arrangement.
Shipping
The Lloyd Gallery has been shipping artwork nationally and internationally for 35 years. Our qualified staff pack in customized box or roll largest works up into tube (then boxed). We ship at very reasonable rates with excellent local couriers throughout Western Canada and CANPAR, ACE COURIER & UPS or tell us your own preference of carrier service throughout North America. International post, Fedex, UPS or DHL for shipping to Europe and Asia. Every effort is made to ensure that your purchase arrives in perfect condition. Please note any taxes are determined by the province or country the art will be shipped to. No tax to the US but be aware that art valued over $2500 is subject to a small amount of duty charges. Inquire about this. Outside of North America, your country likely has a VAT (value added tax) on original art from as low as 6% up to 20% (the higher vat is usually charged for prints, not original art). This is collected by the courier via a phone call to you before delivery. It is a smooth process and we are pleased to have had excellent service from our shippers over the past 20 years.
Measuring Your Walls For A Piece Of Art
When determining the appropriate size and orientation of a painting for your wall, we recommend to go a bit further than standing next to the wall with measuring tape: cut and tape a large piece of wrapping paper or newsprint to your wall and step back to the living space where you would be enjoying the artwork from. This will help give the best visual of size, shape and feel of the space it will enhance. Alternatively put four sticky notes on the wall at each pretend corner of the common painting size that you hope to hang.
On Approval
We are pleased to provide you with the opportunity to take artwork home on approval for up to 10 days, to see the artwork in different lighting (morning, afternoon, evening) and gives you time to enjoy and discuss the art privately rather than making a decision in the gallery.
Framing Services
Consider reframing a part of your collection. Does anything deserve modernizing to better suit your new or updated home? We have an extensive collection of quality picture framing mouldings and we can frame anything even large flags, antique maps, guns, medals, hockey jerseys, etc. We also professionally restore frames & paintings that have been damaged or are aged or dirty to the best of our ability. Note Any very valuable paintings we will suggest connecting with professional restoration experts in BC. Unique picture framing requests are very welcome; come in for an estimate and consultation.
