Purchasing online
To make a purchase from our online shop, please use the SHOP button at the top or go straight to MY ACCOUNT to log in. We have tried to make the process as easy as possible, while maintaining the highest security. The information about your order is only stored when you start the cart process, which is stored on your own hard drive using a text file called a ‘cookie’. Cookies cannot carry viruses and cannot install malware on your computer - they are purely to store your cart contents so we can process your order. (You will need to enable ‘cookies’ in your web browser for the online cart software to work.)
You can pay through the respected and secure WooCommerce (no account necessary), with most major credit or debit cards (see image at right) and you can also choose to pay by PayPal (you do not have to have a PayPal account in order to use PayPal). We do not store credit card information and we are PCI DSS compliant. More information on our privacy policy is found via the tab above.
Prices
In most cases, prices quoted are exclusive of post and packing (this will be calculated at checkout), to UK addresses it is free for orders over £100.
All prices are in Sterling (British pounds).
Please note that your credit card statement and order confirmation will display your order in pounds Sterling. Our Account name is Madwolf Design which may appear on your statement instead of Colin Woolf Fine Art.
Delivery
We aim to despatch most unframed items within two working days of your order being placed, or as soon as payment has cleared into our bank account.
If you have requested a print with original pencil remarques, please remember that these are done on request, so your print will take slightly longer to be despatched. Likewise, if you have requested framing, this will be done to order as soon as possible, but please allow up to 21 days for delivery (please ring or email if you wish the order to arrive on an earlier specific date).
All items are packed securely to guard against damage in transit. Loose (unmounted) prints are inserted into clear conservation-quality bags and then into a postal tube. Mounted or framed pictures are securely packed. Colin’s packing is nothing short of legendary!
Our courier offers delivery to UK addresses, certain European destinations, the USA and some other countries. If you are outside this area and wish to receive your delivery as soon as possible, please contact us before placing your order. When sending large framed pictures to international destinations we may have to remove the glass to comply with safety regulations.
Courier-delivered and insured items must be signed for on delivery.
Please ensure that someone will be there to receive your order. On most occasions we will contact you before despatch. If requested to do so, we will do our best to ensure that delivery is made on a particular date. However, as we use independent couriers we cannot be held responsible for deliveries not made within a specified time period. We are also classed as a remote area and the pickup date can be a day or two after we book the item in, so please bear this in mind if you require your parcel urgently - ring us first
If you require a Saturday courier delivery, please contact us before placing your order as there will be an extra charge for this.
If you choose an uninsured delivery option, the goods will be sent at your own risk.

Images
Images on this website are used for illustrative purposes only.

This is because of the many colour variations in computer displays.
