Sales and Shipping
Sales:
Please contact me for an up-to-date price list of my ships in bottles or to special request your very own ship in a bottle.
Due to the movement of ships in bottles through galleries and purchases, it is hard to keep the website up to date with items currently for sale, their prices, and their locations. As well, prices can vary drastically depending on the overall complexities of construction for each of the models, so we ask that you contact us for pricing information. (Most items for sale or sold are marked beside their name in the Gallery Section of the website.)
Our home base is White Stone, Virginia, USA. When possible we try to attend the Farmer's Markets as well as arts and craft shows in the local area. Of course purchasing your ship in bottle in person is the best, however for those of you who are not local to the area, I will do what I can to provide you with any pictures, descriptions, or details on any model via email, phone, or post.
We are also happy and willing to sell internationally. Please be aware that: All customs fees, taxes, and the like are the responsibility of the purchaser.
For purchases within the US we will accept Personal Checks. If you decide to purchase by personal check we must wait until the check clears before sending your ship in bottle.
We will accept cash payments in person in the form of dollars, swiss francs, or euros
You may also make purchases through paypal (please make this request by email)
Special Requests:
Do you have a particular boat in mind that you would like in a bottle? Gabrielle builds custom ships in bottles. She has constructed numerous SIBs for customers who would like their own boat or a desired boat in a bottle. As well, the ship in bottle makes a unique gift for the unexpected loved one or client, and you can make it even more special by choosing their favorite scene or ship in bottle to be built just for the occassion. She is always willing to build trophy SIB's for racing regattas or boat christenings.
Also, if you see a ship in bottle that you are interested in within the gallery, but it is already sold, don't despair, another one can be built at your request.
Shipping:
All ships in bottles are made with shipping in mind. Each model is securely fitted in its sea of putty and many are models built to exact dimensions of the bottle and fitted snuggly within.
When shipping, we work in conjunction with professional packaging and shipping companies to ensure that your bottle will have the best possible chance of arriving safely. We have yet to have any unhappy customers! Bottles can be shipped by post, UPS (in most cases), or DHL. All bottles are insured at their purchasable value in the case that something, out of my hands, does happen.
You will be notified by email or phone when a bottle is shipped and its expected arrival time.
