Please pack your artwork the same as you would a regular domestic sale (see our packaging guide here) but with a little extra care as the artwork has further to travel - the safer the better!

When it comes to shipping artworks internationally, please use Australia Post! Once the artwork is packed, simply take the work to the post office, get a receipt for your shipping costs, and Bluethumb will reimburse you. Aus Post takes packages up to 105cm.

If the artwork is oversized and cannot be shipped with Aus Post, Bluethumb will book a courier. Please be aware, this will only be done if the work cannot be sent with Aus Post and fees will be incurred if incorrect information is supplied.

If you are a self-shipper, please reach out to the Bluethumb team for further assistance.

Import duties and taxes vary based on country's policies and the cost of the artwork. The buyer is responsible for the international customs/import fees and taxes. We only recommend buyers to have a quick look at their country's customs website and consider the additional costs that might be involved.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with Bluethumb at help@bluethumb.com.au.
