Sahara Gallery, Inc. ships world wide UPS (insured) to the client. At the time of shipping there will be an accompanying photograph of the object in its shipped condition.

Returns
Sahara Gallery's online return policy is to accept returns for any reason within thirty days of postmark if the object or objects are for any reason not acceptable. The object must be returned in original condition and shipped insured. If the object is damaged in any way, the customer is responsible for the entire purchase price of the object. The return shipping (insured) is the responsibility of the customer.

Our returns policy at our Rochester location differs from our online web site policy. Purchases made in person at our Rochester gallery are non-refundable due to the fact that all objects have been inspected at time of sale. Exchanges are welcome within thirty days.
