1.5 Prices
All prices are quoted in Pound Sterling (GBP / £ ). Prices can go up or down. Formal written quotations are valid for 30 calendar days only.

Prices given in any other currency than GBP are only provided as helpful but approximate indications of the equivalent in that currency, of the GBP price. Payment is taken in pound sterling. Exchange rates can change suddenly making your purchase considerably cheaper or more expensive when payment is taken from your account if your own account is in another Currency. We accept no responsibility for the changes in cost to you that these exchange rate changes or bank charges may incur when payment is provided from your bank account.

Prices on the website are indicated by the letter after the code beneath the detail pictures. For exact price, please contact the gallery by phone or by email using the 'Request more info' button next to the piece you wish to know more about.

Prices are VAT inclusive but exclusive of delivery charges.

VAT is charged at the relevant UK rate for the piece. This will be the standard VAT rate at the time of purchase or the lesser margin rate for hand made goods by artists. Tyger Glyn's registered GB VAT number is 888 0623 87.

If the goods are to be delivered outside of the EU, you may qualify to have the VAT removed. In such an event please contact the gallery to arrange. We can adjust the price accordingly or refund you the VAT once proof of export has been received by us from the courier or EU airport of departure. Any import duties or taxes payable in the country or state into which the goods are delivered from the UK, are the responsibility of the purchaser.

1.6 Out of stock Items
We carry many items in stock, however in some instances the original piece featured on the website may no longer be available and a similar piece may need to be specially sourced and ordered for you. Best efforts are made to indicate such a piece in the text below the picture and / or by the Z in the code. If someone is in the process of purchasing the piece online just prior to you, the system will automatically ask you to contact the gallery when you click on the Arrange purchase button. We will make every effort to expedite your special order and be realistic in our estimated delivery time. Please be aware that as your order is being made especially for you, it can take on average two to eight weeks. We will communicate exact times to you by email or phone. Naturally special orders are final orders.

Tyger Glyn will take a non returnable 50% deposit on any commissioned, bespoke or special orders, prior to the order being confirmed. The remaining 50% balance will be payable before delivery. Commissioned work is non returnable.

Tyger Glyn reserves the right not to agree to alter a piece and/or not to sell a piece that would be altered if we believe it would compromise the physical and/ or artistic strength of the piece.

100% payment will be taken up front for any piece or pieces that need altering for size and once altered, these pieces are non refundable.
