The seller is responsible for the goods until they are received by the buyer.

A signature from the transport or courier company is the only undeniable proof of the consignment and receipt of the goods to the Buyer.

We always advice using a postal service with a signature to track missing goods. You should contact the artist immediatley if an item is missing. If the item goes missing it is the sellers responsibility to track it down.
