FAQ
These are the most common questions I’m asked. If you have additional questions feel free to email me at leah@bluebirdchic.com
HOW DO I BUY AN ORIGINAL?
I create as much as possible and will begin releasing paintings in collections on my website in 2024. This will be well advertised beforehand via social media, my blog, and mailing list. These paintings tend to go pretty quickly, so be sure to be prompt! Originals will be available here.
PRINT QUALITY & DETAILS
Coming Soon in 2024!!
All reproductions in my shop are Giclee reproductions and are created using a huge, very fancy printer that uses a wide range of inks applied finely to canvas and are very long-lasting. They are printed on flat artist canvas and can be matted, dry-mounted, or stretched over wooden stretcher bars. The prints are frequently mistaken for originals. The prints are cut by hand as to avoid damage from a cutter blade/clamps and there is no white border left around the image.
All Giclee Reproductions are printed to order by a local printing house and take 7-10 days to arrive back in our studio, then I hurry to cut, package, and ship them to you as quickly as possible.
Just a note about displaying your prints: Please do not use tape of any kind on the front of your new print as it will pull the pigment from the canvas. Yikes!
FRAMING
I highly encourage framing all your prints and originals. Not only do they look incredibly beautiful framed, but it will help to protect your fresh artwork from wear and dust. I do not currently offer framing from my studio.
Matting your print will make it look much more elegant and refined.
HOW IS MY ARTWORK GOING TO BE SHIPPED?
If shipping of your order costs $10+ more than what you paid at checkout, you will receive an invoice that must be paid before your oder is put in the mail. Thank you for your understanding!
Originals
All artwork is wrapped in paper, padded extremely well, and sent in a well-fitting sturdy cardboard box.
Most artwork will ship via USPS or UPS, and most packages arrive within 2-4 days (domestic) from time of shipping (includes tracking & insurance). I do not currently offer international shipping, but contact me at leah@bluebirdchic.com if you’re interested in purchasing.

All prints are handled with the utmost care, packaged beautifully in paper or plastic sleeve.
Prints 11x14 and smaller are mailed in a sturdy flat mailer while prints 16x20 and larger are mailed in a thick tube.
Shipped via USPS 1st Class Mail or Priority Mail (usually arrives within 1-3 days within the US).

RETURNS
Every order, commission, and sale is handled with care and as much clarity and transparency as possible. My goal is for you to be completely thrilled with your purchase! Please read about our return policy here for more information on the process.
Studio Sale pieces are final sale. We are unable to accept items that are purchased on sale for return or exchange. We will not be sending individual descriptions and photos of pieces on sale due to being a Seconds Sale item. We’ve carefully checked over each piece to decide if it’s a good fit for the sale price, and any blemish, size variation, add-on (like varnish or margin), has been included in the listing description to give the collector a good idea of what variant includes this piece in this year’s sale. Not all pieces will have all variants or blemishes described.
WHAT IS YOUR PRODUCT SHIPPING POLICY?
Within the U.S. we ship via USPS Priority and First Class Mail and UPS. Your order will be shipped in 3-7 business days.
Please note that USPS Priority Mail shipments are guaranteed as a 2-day delivery from the time your order leaves our facility. If you need something expedited, let us know and we will be happy to accommodate!
Some items featuring artwork by Leah Farquharson are created and shipped on demand by a third party provider. These items will noted in the description and packaged and shipped separately by the provider.
If your order includes an item on preorder, your full order will be held until the preordered item is ready to ship. We are happy to split orders upon request.
I am not currently shipping internationally - but contact me if you’re interested!
HOW MUCH DOES SHIPPING COST?
All shipping charges are calculated based on your location and the total quantity and weight of the products in your order.
WHAT IF MY ORDER IS UNDELIVERABLE?
We ship to the address specified in your order. If that address is incorrect or undeliverable for any reason and the product is returned to us, the buyer will have the option to pay the shipping again and we will attempt delivery again with a different address, or the buyer can receive a refund for the product, minus the original shipping cost.
