📦 Returns & Inspection Policy
At ART®, your peace of mind and the absolute protection of your musical instrument are our highest priorities. Because each case is a dedicated piece of handcrafted art designed to shield your violin, we implement a meticulous verification protocol to ensure every premium case arrives in flawless condition.
🔍 1. Secure Inspection Upon Arrival
To protect your premium investment against transit friction, we kindly ask you or your designated recipient to perform a quick aesthetic verification upon secure courier handover:
-
External Check: Please briefly inspect the outer packaging before opening.
-
If Transit Damage is Visible: In the rare event that the external box shows severe impact, we strongly recommend opening the package in the presence of the courier, or recording a brief continuous unboxing video. This allows us to instantly hold the international premium cargo company accountable and fast-track a replacement for you without structural delays.
⏳ 2. Return & Exchange Windows
We stand behind our craftsmanship. To offer you maximum assurance while coordinating global logistics, our policy is structured as follows:
-
Structural & Transit Flaws: Please report any visible shipping-related physical damage or structural abnormalities to our dedicated concierge team within 7 days of delivery.
-
Bespoke Satisfaction Return: If you simply change your mind, we welcome returns or color exchanges within 14 days of secure delivery, provided the case remains completely unused, unmounted, and preserved in its pristine original packaging.
