ESTIMATED SHIPPING RATES & DELIVERY GUIDE

Page Updated: 23 October 2026

ⓘ Disclaimer — Estimated Rates Only

Shipping rates shown on this page are for guidance only. Some of the partner-supplier examples were recorded in July 2026 and have not been revalidated as current prices. Courier, supplier and insurance tariffs can change.
For Burnished Gold Editions, the DHL quote shown at checkout, where available, is calculated for the actual destination and order. For specialist framed Declaration artworks, the separate collection, £60 local/regional delivery and individually quoted arrangements below apply; these are not DHL parcel rates. Other products may use the applicable checkout charge, delivery included in the product offer, or a separately agreed quote.
Before you order, we will make clear any charge or calculation method that applies. Historical example prices are not binding quotes, and no additional specialist delivery charge will be imposed without your agreement.

Important Notice About Shipping Charges

Burnished Gold Editions: DHL delivery is calculated at checkout where available, including any applicable remote-area surcharge. Framed Declaration artworks: approved postcodes may be offered Aizle local/regional delivery at £60 including VAT; other UK delivery is by individual quote, or customers may arrange collection. Kilts and woven accessories: a separate delivery invoice may follow final packing only where that arrangement and the calculation method have been disclosed and agreed before purchase. Delivery charges and the arrangements for collecting goods are explained before you commit to them.

Important framed-artwork checkout note: the shipping option COLLECTION ONLY — Aizle Framing, Balfron; Arbroath by prior arrangement may appear at checkout as £0.00 / “FREE”. That means customer collection, not free home delivery, even if you entered a delivery address. Collection from Aizle Framing is by appointment; Arbroath collection must be agreed individually. For approved local/regional postcodes, checkout may also show Aizle local/regional framed artwork delivery at £60 including VAT. If you require delivery and this paid option is not offered, contact us before ordering to arrange a specialist quotation.

DHL checkout quoting is now in use for the Burnished Gold Editions where the destination and service are supported. Other product routes remain separate.

Burnished Gold Editions — DHL Delivery from Arbroath

Our current unframed Declaration of Arbroath editions are printed, numbered, certified and packed in Arbroath in Black Onyx, Pewter and Pearl, in Collector and Life-Size formats.

Preparation: allow 5–7 working days from your deposit or full payment, subject to stock availability. DHL transit time is additional.
Your delivery price: use the quote for your address, selected service and complete order at checkout. Any applicable DHL remote-area surcharge is included. A rate for one address or one print is not a universal flat price.
Multiple prints: the rate relates to the order and its packing requirements; more than one parcel may be needed.
Payment: choose full payment or a 25% product deposit where offered. Checkout shows the actual amount due now and the remaining balance, including any delivery and tax amounts. The balance must be paid before dispatch.
International delivery: availability depends on the destination and service offered. Destination duties, import taxes and clearance fees are payable by the customer unless expressly collected or included in the checkout or an agreed quote.
No rate or a special request: contact us before ordering if a suitable quote is unavailable, if you need delivery to your framer or if timing is essential.

The collection-only and £60 Aizle framed-artwork options described below are a separate fulfilment route. They do not apply to the unframed Burnished Gold Editions and should not be confused with DHL delivery charges.

1. Declaration 3D Facsimiles and Legacy Framed Gold Artwork

Specialist Framed Artwork — Collection or Personal Delivery

Framed Declaration artworks, including Declaration of Arbroath Fine-Art 3D Facsimiles and legacy framed Declaration Gold Metallic Print Editions, are substantial pieces requiring specialist handling. They do not have an automatic DHL shipping rate at checkout. Depending on your location, you can arrange collection, select the £60 Aizle local/regional delivery service where offered, or ask us to quote for a suitable alternative before ordering.

If you reserve a framed artwork with a deposit or part-payment, checkout will show the amount due today and the remaining balance. The artwork will be released for collection or delivery only after the remaining balance and any agreed delivery charge have been paid.

Local / Regional Aizle Framing Delivery — £60 Including VAT

For approved local and regional UK postcodes, checkout may display:

Aizle local/regional framed artwork delivery — £60 including VAT

This is the specialist personal-delivery option from Aizle Framing in Balfron, and is available only for postcodes where the service is offered at checkout. The £60 rate does not cover every Scottish or UK address. Delivery will be arranged once the artwork is ready, with timing confirmed directly.

Collection — Aizle Framing, Balfron (Arbroath by Prior Arrangement)

Checkout may also display the following £0.00 / “FREE” option:

COLLECTION ONLY — Aizle Framing, Balfron; Arbroath by prior arrangement

This means collection only. It does not include delivery to the address entered at checkout. You may collect from Aizle Framing in Balfron by appointment when the artwork is ready. Collection from The Tartan Artisan® studio in Arbroath may also be possible, particularly for customers in northern or eastern Scotland, but only when expressly agreed with us beforehand. Any exceptional transfer or handling costs will be explained and agreed in advance.

Because the checkout must still collect certain address details, the fact that you have entered a home or business address in Arbroath, London or anywhere else does not convert a collection-only order into a home-delivery order.

Other UK Addresses — Delivery by Individual Quote

If you need delivery and the £60 Aizle rate is not offered for your address, please contact us before placing your order. We can assess whether Richard White at Aizle Framing, or The Tartan Artisan® from Arbroath, can deliver personally. Any quote depends on destination, journey time, safe handling, scheduling, the number of framed pieces and any necessary insurance. We will confirm the proposed arrangement and the final amount payable, including any applicable VAT, for your approval before the order is agreed.

If you are happy to collect instead, you can select the collection-only option and arrange an appointment. Please do not select “COLLECTION ONLY” while expecting an unarranged delivery. If no appropriate delivery service can be arranged, collection remains the available checkout route.

International Enquiries

International delivery for these large, framed artworks is not automatically available at checkout. Overseas customers should contact The Tartan Artisan® before ordering so we can discuss the risks, suitable packaging, transport, insurance, applicable customs rules and cost. Availability is not guaranteed.

Which Option Should I Choose?

Collecting the finished artwork? Choose COLLECTION ONLY and arrange collection from Aizle Framing, or ask us to confirm an Arbroath handover in advance.
Live near Aizle and want delivery? If Aizle local/regional framed artwork delivery — £60 appears at checkout, you can select it and we will coordinate the delivery when the artwork is ready.
Need delivery anywhere else? Contact us before ordering with your postcode and the number of pieces so we can discuss an individual quotation.
Ordering from overseas? Contact us first; international transport for framed 3D artworks is handled by individual enquiry.

These arrangements apply to framed Declaration artworks only. The unframed Burnished Gold Editions have their own DHL quoting system, described above.

2. Designer Kilts & Highland Wear

Made to Order – Carefully Presented

Each kilt and accessory is individually made to order with careful attention to detail.
Orders may include a single kilt, a kilt with matching fly plaid, or multiple items requiring special boxing and packing.
Kilts and woven goods use a tracked delivery service, with any additional shipment protection arranged for the relevant order.

Shipping Process

Kilt and woven-goods delivery may be invoiced separately where the arrangement and calculation method are agreed before purchase.
Where a separate quote is agreed, final packing confirms the parcel weight and dimensions; you receive the delivery invoice for approval and payment before dispatch.
Costs are calculated fairly based on final parcel weight, size, insurance value, and destination.

Typical Shipping Costs (Guideline)

Customs processing may delay delivery.

7. Tracking & Delivery

Postal and courier shipments normally provide tracking where the selected service supports it. Personally delivered framed artworks and customer collections are arranged directly rather than treated as tracked parcels.
If delayed or damaged, contact us promptly, preferably within 7 days of delivery for damage. This helps us investigate and does not limit your statutory rights.
Ensure your delivery address is accurate.

8. Sustainability

We use recyclable packaging whenever possible.
Packaging and environmental specifications vary by product and partner. Burnished Gold uses careful protective wrapping, a recycled-material tube and an outer cardboard box; see the product galleries for the actual presentation.
