Returns & Exchanges

Discounted and custom made items are NOT returnable or exchangeable. Stock items can be exchanged or returned for store credit within 14 days of purchase. No return or exchange will be accepted by Simon Liu, Inc. unless prior authorization has been granted. Unauthorized returns will not be credited. If through our error we supply the incorrect item, you may exchange it for the correct item within 30 days of purchase. Returned items must be unused and in re-sellable condition. Otherwise, items will not be credited. Please properly package and insure return items so a claim can be filed with a carrier if damage occurs during return shipment.

All approved returns and exchanges will be for products of equal value. Under no circumstances will Simon Liu, Inc. assume responsibility for, or incur the cost of, labor that has been put into a product by the customer. Types of labor may include but are not limited to: painting, priming, and stretching.

Back Order On Stock Items

We do our best to supply all items listed on our website and in our catalog, although availability is sometimes affected by scarcity or long lead times in manufacturing. We will backorder if a stock item is temporarily out of stock. It is difficult to give an exact time of availability, since we are dependent on our suppliers. Backordered items will not be charged until the item is available.

Materials Disclaimer

Natural materials such as wood, linen, and cotton are susceptible to warping, bowing, and natural wear and tear. This can be caused by climate conditions and other external factors. We at Simon Liu, Inc. strive to minimize these problems as much as possible by building the most structurally sound painting supports.

However, because of their nature, natural fibers may be affected by: the weather, humidity, moisture, temperature, improper handling, misuse, unprofessional transportation, and suboptimal storage. Simon Liu, Inc. is not responsible for products that become warped or damaged due to improper maintenance, transit by third-party carriers, or less-than-ideal storage conditions.

For questions regarding the appropriate handling of products, please see our “Product Handling” page in our FAQ’s. For more detailed instructions, contact us.

Exceptions

Nothing in this disclaimer notice excludes or limits any warranty implied by law for death, fraud, personal injury through negligence, or anything else which it would not be lawful for Simon Liu, Inc. to exclude.

Variations

We reserve the right to revise and amend this disclaimer notice from time to time and any revised version will be deemed to be applicable from the first date of publication on this website.

Shipping Services

We ship the majority of our packages via Fedex Ground and Service by Air for over-sized packages. Fedex Expedite Services or other shipping carriers are available upon request. Most shipping carriers do not deliver to P.O. boxes. A complete street address is required.

We ship international orders via Fedex International or Service by Air. The recipient is responsible for any customs fees, duties, and other taxes levied by the country of destination. These fees cannot be estimated prior to shipping.

Shipping costs vary based on weight, dimensions, and destination. Due to the rise in shipping costs, please request a shipping estimate before ordering to assure it is within your budget. Pick up at our workshop is also welcome.

Damage During Shipment

Please inspect all shipments upon receipt of goods. It is your responsibility to note any damage on all copies of delivery receipt. Delivery receipt must be signed by the driver and consignee. Immediately advise carrier of damage and request carrier inspection. Save the carton and all packing materials for inspection. Do not remove from the premises before inspection is made.

Notify carrier at once and request an inspection. Carrier and Simon Liu, Inc. are not responsible unless damage is reported immediately and the carton is retained. If this precaution is not taken, Simon Liu, Inc. cannot assist you in recovering the amount of your claim against carrier. Retain a copy of inspection report and send a copy of the inspection report to:

Delivery pricing starts at $150, with deliveries made on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

The maximum capacity of our delivery truck is 108″ H. x 156″ L. Stretchers that exceed the maximum capacity will be delivered un-assembled or folded. Assembling, unfolding, and stretching on-site require additional fees and are available upon request.

Additional fees may apply for large quantities, over-sized items or delivery to non-elevator buildings. Deliveries must be scheduled in advance. Long distance delivery within New York City varies and is based on distance, quantity, and weight.

Before signing off for your merchandise, please inspect carefully. Your signature designates your acceptance of the merchandise in its delivered condition. Simon Liu, Inc. will not be responsible for any repair or exchange if you have signed for the merchandise. We understand that work might not begin right away onto our supports; however, we recommend opening up all received product as soon as possible.

Transportation and Holding of Artwork

Simon Liu, Inc. is a manufacturer of high quality painting supports. We are neither an art mover nor are we insured for the transportation of artworks. In addition, Simon Liu, Inc. is not a storage facility and therefore is not insured for artworks that are in its possession. Please be advised that all artwork must be insured by the client and you must accept liability during travel and storage (while the artwork is in Simon Liu, Inc.’s possession).

Simon Liu, Inc. will hold an artwork free of charge during its production. Anytime thereafter, Simon Liu, Inc. reserves the right to charge a holding fee until the artwork leaves the premises. Please be advised that if artwork is to be picked up by Simon Liu, Inc., artwork must be securely packed and clearly labeled. Pick-up or delivery must be scheduled in advance, and there is no guarantee that Simon Liu, Inc. will have immediate availability. Pick-up or delivery of stretched or rolled artwork starts at $225.

Packing

All stretchers are shipped un-assembled (unless otherwise specified). If a large stretcher or panel must be shipped assembled, crates are built to assure safe shipping; additional packing fees will be incurred. For large-sized stretched canvases, we suggest hiring an art mover.

All products stretched or primed as well as artwork are wrapped in brown craft paper when delivered by truck. For extra protection of our products we offer lite-packing for pick up, and for artwork a shadowbox with cardboard, plastic, and/or glassine are available for an additional fee.

As a premiere art support company, there is a proper way to carry and handle our products.

For Stretched Wooden Canvases

Do not wrap your hand around the cross bars or stretcher bars as knuckle marks and indentations are caused by grabbing the stretched canvas improperly. Hold the crossbars at the edges.

For Stretched A-Liu-Minum Canvases

There is a channel on the bars to grab on to, so there is no need to wrap your hands around the bars.

Key Tying & Expansion Capabilities

For instructions on key tying and how to expand our mechanical and A-Liu-Minium stretchers please contact us at service@simonliuinc.com.

The construction of folding stretchers allow large paintings to be transported without being removed completely from the support itself. This service is available in all style of our stretcher products. Typically, the stretcher is divided into two sections and connected with aluminum angled hardware.

Our foldable stretchers with stretched artwork are folded with the painting facing in around a sonotube. The bigger the painting, the bigger the sonotube. The sonotube is wrapped in glassine or a material that will not damage the painting. Wooden brackets are then installed on the top, bottom, and two sides.

‘Wet folding’ is also available for large paintings that need transportation but are still drying or has heavy impasto.

Artwork too valuable or too large to move? Unsure of how to describe your requirements?

In-person services and consultations are available for varied needs — routinely servicing artists, galleries, museums, and collectors.

We stretch canvas or artwork on-site with a minimum of two (2) technicians. For consultations and stretching with Simon we provide an hourly and daily rate. Please reach out to service@simonliuinc.com for pricing.

Special arrangements are possible for projects outside the NY Metro area.

We do not install but will gladly design the best hanging system for your needs.
