Returns & Refunds

Last updated: 13 September 2026

1. Return window

You may request a return within 14 days of receiving your order. Tell us first at trade@dunhuangmurals.com — please do not send anything back before we confirm, as unauthorised returns may be refused at customs.

2. Condition

Items must be unused, undamaged and returned in their original packaging with any certificate of research, numbering card or accessory included. Numbered limited editions must keep their original number certificate.

3. How to start a return

  • Email us with your order reference and the reason for the return.
  • We reply with return instructions and the correct address.
  • Ship the item back, tracked, within 7 days of our confirmation.

4. Return shipping cost

5. Refunds

Once the returned item reaches us and passes inspection, we refund the item price to your original payment method within 5–10 business days. Original outbound shipping is refunded only where the item was faulty or incorrect. Customs duties already paid to your government cannot be refunded by us.

6. Damaged or incorrect items

Please photograph the parcel and the item before unpacking further, and contact us within 7 days of delivery. We will arrange a replacement or a full refund, including return shipping. Keep all packaging until the claim is settled — the carrier may require it.

7. Exchanges

If you would like a different piece, contact us and we will treat it as a return plus a new order, so stock is reserved correctly.

8. Cancellation before dispatch

You can cancel free of charge any time before the parcel is dispatched. Once it has left us, the return process above applies.

9. Your statutory rights

Nothing here reduces rights you have under mandatory consumer law in your country. Consumers in the EU and UK have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days of delivery; where that right is broader than this policy, it prevails.
