Prints
To return a print, email contact@thestockerstudio.com within 14 days of delivery with your order number. We will reply with return instructions. Ship the print back within 7 days of our reply, unused and in its original packaging.
Returns are mailed to: The Stöcker Studio, 201 W. Oklahoma Ave, Suite 83, Guthrie, OK 73044.
You pay the return shipping, and original shipping costs are not refundable. For prints over $75 we recommend a tracked, insured service, since we cannot refund an item we never receive.
Original paintings
Because every original is unique, sales are final. If your painting arrives damaged, email photos within 3 days of delivery and we will arrange a repair, replacement or full refund, at our cost.
Commission paintings
A commission starts once you approve the quote and pay a 50% deposit. The deposit covers materials and the time already spent, so it is not refundable once work begins. Before the final payment, you will see a photo of the finished painting and may ask for reasonable changes, as agreed in your quote. The balance is due before shipping or pickup. Completed commissions cannot be returned.
Painting classes
- Cancel 72 hours or more before the class: full refund.
- Cancel less than 72 hours before: credit toward a future class, valid for 12 months.
- No-shows are not refunded.
- If Wilhelmina must cancel or reschedule, you choose a full refund or a new date.
- For classes at your location, the travel fee is refundable only if we cancel.
Damaged or wrong items
If anything arrives damaged, defective or not what you ordered, email photos to contact@thestockerstudio.com within 3 days of delivery. We will make it right with a replacement or a full refund, including shipping.
How refunds are paid
Once your return arrives and is inspected, we will email you to confirm. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 5–10 business days. If you have not received it after that, check with your bank or card company first, then contact us.
