Buy art
Buying prints when you live a long way from everything.
Almost every print shop is overseas. The listed price is rarely the price you pay, and the fine print is where the difference hides. This section is us reading it.
How Artsby makes money: some links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we recommend or what we say about it.
The cost-to-Australia comparison
In progress. Every figure comes from the seller's own published shipping table, returns policy and duties note — checked on a stated date and linked, so you can verify it yourself rather than take our word for it.
| Seller | Ships to AU | Stated delivery | Returns window | Duties |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Displate | — | — | — | — |
| Society6 | — | — | — | — |
| Redbubble | — | — | — | — |
| Australian printers | — | — | — | — |
This is research, not experience — we haven't placed these orders, and we won't pretend otherwise. Where that limit matters, the page says so.

Three incompatible measuring systems, one conversion table, and the three-millimetre mismatch that makes a print unframeable.
ReferenceNearly everyone hangs art too high
The 145 cm rule, how far above a sofa to go, and why a high ceiling is not a reason to hang higher.
