Shipping Insurance for Auvrique Prints, Explained
A direct answer on insured shipping, plus what actually happens when a framed print arrives damaged. The Grohar caveat matters and comes first.
Auvrique does not currently offer Ivan Grohar editions, so there is no Grohar-specific shipping insurance to buy. Orders the company does ship are insured against loss and transit damage at full purchase value, with replacements or refunds arranged for items that arrive damaged. Coverage terms are listed on the shipping page.
The Short Answer on Grohar Orders
Start with the honest part. Auvrique's catalogue does not include Ivan Grohar editions at present, so no one can insure a Grohar print from Auvrique because none is being shipped. Any page promising otherwise would be inventing a product. The broader question, whether art prints ship insured, still has a real answer.
For the work Auvrique does sell, orders are covered against loss and damage in transit. The coverage is tied to the purchase price of the order, not to a fixed per-item amount. If a framed piece or canvas arrives cracked, warped or wet, the remedy is a replacement or a refund rather than a claim form pushed back onto the buyer.
How Insured Shipping Actually Works
Insurance is not the same thing as careful packing, and the distinction matters more than most buyers realise. Coverage is the backstop. The first line of defence is corner protection, rigid backing and a box sized so the frame cannot shift. A print that survives the journey never needs the policy at all.
When damage does occur, the process is simple in principle. Photograph the outer packaging and the piece itself, then contact support with the images. Claims are made by the seller, not by the customer, which is one genuine advantage of buying from a company rather than from an individual reseller. The buyer's job is documentation, nothing more.
What the Coverage Includes
Protecting a Print After Delivery
Most damage to framed art happens in the first week at home, not in the truck. Unbox over a flat surface rather than a hard floor, and keep the blade away from the frame edges when opening. Check the corners and glazing before discarding any packaging, because a claim is harder to support without it.
Grohar's landscapes, when sourced elsewhere as originals or vintage reproductions, deserve the same handling. Hang away from direct sun and radiators, since paper fades and canvas relaxes with heat. None of this is complicated. It is the difference between a print that looks new in ten years and one that does not.
Insurance is the backstop, not the plan. Packaging does the quiet work.
| Event | Covered | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Parcel lost in transit | Yes | Refund or reshipment |
| Frame cracked on arrival | Yes | Replacement after photos |
| Damage from wall mounting | No | Buyer's responsibility |
| Fading after hanging | No | Not a transit issue |

Related questions
What happens if my framed print arrives damaged?
Photograph the packaging and the piece, then contact support with the images. Auvrique handles the carrier claim itself and arranges a replacement or a refund at the full purchase price. Keep the packaging until the case is closed, since carriers occasionally ask to inspect it.
Is shipping insurance included in the price or bought separately?
Coverage is included with the order rather than sold as an add-on. The insured value is the amount paid, not a fixed figure per item. Exact terms, including any size or destination limits, are set out on the shipping page and apply to every order equally.
Can I get an insured Ivan Grohar print somewhere else?
Possibly, from sellers who licence his work, but verify two things before paying. Ask whether the price includes transit coverage and who files the claim if the piece arrives damaged. With individual resellers, insurance often becomes the buyer's problem once the parcel leaves the sender's hands.
Does insurance cover a print stolen after delivery?
No. Transit coverage ends when the parcel is delivered and signed for. Theft from a home or building falls under household insurance instead. If a carrier marks a parcel delivered but nothing arrives, contact support promptly, since that situation sits between the two categories and is usually resolved in the buyer's favour.
