Purchasing Policy

To avoid any disappointment, we kindly ask that you take the time to read and understand our policies before placing an order with Life In Ink.

As our artwork is made to order, cancellations or changes may not always be possible, and fees may apply depending on the stage of production.

At Life In Ink, we're committed to providing friendly and helpful customer service. While our team is always happy to assist with any questions or concerns, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards abusive, aggressive or threatening behaviour directed at our staff.

By placing an order with Life In Ink, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to our policies and terms of purchase. We encourage all customers to review the information below carefully before completing their order.

Order Tracking, Courier Delays & Lost Parcels

Once your order has been dispatched from Life In Ink, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number. Please check your junk or spam folder if you have not received this notification.

Tracking Your Delivery

It is the customer's responsibility to monitor their parcel using the tracking details provided. We recommend checking your tracking regularly for delivery updates, estimated arrival dates and any attempted deliveries.

If your parcel is delayed, overdue or experiencing delivery issues, please contact the courier directly through their website to lodge an enquiry or request an investigation.

While our team is happy to assist where possible, we generally use the same courier enquiry channels available to customers and may not be able to obtain updates any faster.

Delivery Attempts & Parcel Collection

Depending on the courier and delivery location, parcels may be delivered without requiring a signature.

If the courier determines that there is no suitable safe place to leave your parcel, it may be redirected to a nearby collection point or depot.

Customers are responsible for monitoring tracking notifications and collecting their parcels within the timeframe specified by the courier.

If a parcel is returned to Life In Ink due to failure to collect it within the required timeframe, additional shipping fees may apply before the order can be resent, where permitted by law.

Courier Delays

Once your order has been collected by the courier, delivery timeframes are managed by the courier service and may be affected by circumstances outside our control.

While we take every care to prepare and dispatch orders promptly, estimated delivery dates are not guaranteed.

Courier delays do not automatically entitle customers to cancel an order or receive a refund. Any refund or cancellation requests will be assessed in accordance with our store policies and applicable Australian Consumer Law.

Lost Parcels

If your parcel appears to be lost in transit, please lodge an investigation with the courier and notify our team at info@lifeinink.com.au.

We may need to allow the courier reasonable time to investigate and confirm the parcel's status before determining the appropriate resolution.

Where an order is confirmed lost in transit, we will arrange a suitable resolution, which may include a replacement or refund in accordance with your consumer rights.

Artwork Production & Processing Times

All Life In Ink artwork is made to order with care and attention to detail. Please allow the following timeframes for your order to be prepared before dispatch:

  • Unframed Art Prints: 1–5 business days
  • Framed Art Prints: 7–15 business days

Please note that these are estimated processing times and do not include shipping or delivery. During busy periods or promotional sales, processing times may be longer.

Once your order has been dispatched, you'll receive an email with tracking details so you can follow its journey.

Damage After Delivery & Installation

Life In Ink is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling, accidental damage or incorrect installation after your artwork has been delivered.

We recommend taking extra care when unpacking, handling and hanging your artwork, and ensuring that appropriate wall fixings and installation methods are used to prevent damage.

Please note that this policy does not affect your rights under Australian Consumer Law, including where damage results from a product fault or defect.

Terms Of Purchase

By placing an order with Life In Ink (lifeinink.com.au), you acknowledge that it is your responsibility to review all product descriptions, dimensions and specifications to ensure your chosen artwork is suitable for your intended space and wall.

We make every effort to display our artwork as accurately as possible. However, slight variations in colour may occur due to differences in screen settings, devices and lighting conditions. These variations are normal and may not be considered a product fault.

For international orders, any applicable customs duties, import taxes or additional charges imposed by the destination country are the responsibility of the recipient.

If you have any questions regarding sizing, colours, framing or product suitability, we encourage you to contact our team at info@lifeinink.com.au before placing your order.

In the unlikely event that your artwork arrives damaged during transit, please contact us within 48 hours of receiving your order so we can investigate the issue and arrange a suitable resolution, including a replacement where appropriate.

To help us assess and resolve your claim as quickly as possible, please provide the following:

  • Clear photographs of any damage to the external packaging.
  • Clear photographs showing the damage to the artwork or frame.
  • Your order number, full name and contact phone number.

Please email all details and supporting photographs to info@lifeinink.com.au.

We kindly ask that you retain the original packaging and damaged artwork until our team has reviewed your claim, as these may be required for further investigation or return arrangements.

Our team will review your request and work towards a resolution as promptly as possible.
