Delivery Policy
We aim to get your creative tools into your hands quickly and safely, wherever you are in Sri Lanka. By partnering with trusted local couriers and offering multiple payment options, including Cash‑on‑Delivery (COD) and secure card payments, we bring you a delivery experience on par with the country’s leading e‑commerce brands.
Fast island‑wide delivery (2–5 working days) is now the standard for Sri Lankan online stores, and we hold ourselves to the same benchmark.
