A return is valid if the product remains undamaged (unless it was already defective upon receipt) and shows no signs of usage. Preferably, the returned product should be packaged using the original materials. The following instructions should be observed:
- Ensure the package is intact.
- Eliminate any empty spaces within the package.
- Utilize foam, styrofoam, or bubble wrap for soft inner packaging.
- Place cardboard or similar robust material between flat and fragile items to fortify the package’s outer shell, ensuring it can withstand impacts and stacking.
Before dispatching the return, the buyer must send photographs of the product and the finished packaging to Art Helsinki via email. This step ensures an evaluation of the product’s condition and the package’s durability.
Coordinate with Art Helsinki to confirm the shipment collection date.

Outside the European Union, artworks carry a 7-day return window. Refer to the previous section for details on non-EU Nordic countries.
