Shipping & Payment Information
Last updated: 18 August 2026
At Aristidou, we carefully prepare each order and select an appropriate delivery method according to its destination, weight, dimensions and the nature of the products ordered.
Below you will find the main information concerning shipping, delivery and payment for orders placed through aristidou.gr.
1. Shipping Within Greece
Orders can be shipped throughout Greece.
Most orders are dispatched using ELTA Courier Porta Porta or another cooperating courier or freight company, depending on the destination and the characteristics of the shipment.
Large, heavy or bulky products, including large canvases, stretcher frames, oversized paper, model-making materials or other high-volume orders, may be dispatched through a cooperating freight company where this is a safer or more economical delivery method.
Where a different shipping arrangement is required, we may contact you before dispatch.
2. Store Pickup in Patras
Where available during checkout, you may choose to collect your order from our physical store:
Aristidou
158 Korinthou Street
Patras 26223
Greece
Please wait until you receive confirmation that your order is ready before visiting the store for collection.
Online product availability does not necessarily mean that the complete order is immediately ready for pickup.
3. International Shipping
Aristidou may ship to selected international destinations, depending on:
- destination country
- type of product
- weight and dimensions of the order
- restrictions imposed by the carrier
- transportation restrictions applying to particular products
Available shipping options for your destination are displayed during checkout where supported.
Orders delivered outside the European Union may be subject to customs duties, import taxes or other charges imposed by the destination country's authorities. These charges are not imposed by Aristidou unless expressly stated otherwise before purchase.
4. Order Processing Time
Orders placed on business days for products that are in stock are normally prepared and processed within 1-2 business days.
Processing may take longer during:
- periods of high demand
- back-to-school season
- public holidays or holiday periods
- unusually large orders
- special-order products
- personalised products or custom printing work
- orders awaiting confirmation of a bank transfer
Order processing time is separate from the subsequent carrier delivery time.
5. Estimated Delivery Time in Greece
After an order has been processed, courier shipments are normally delivered within approximately 2-3 business days, depending on the destination.
Orders dispatched through a freight company or another appropriate delivery method are normally delivered within approximately 2-5 business days after processing.
These are estimated delivery times and not guaranteed delivery dates.
Island, remote or difficult-to-access destinations may require additional delivery time.
Mandatory consumer rights concerning non-delivery or excessive delay remain unaffected.
6. Shipping Costs
Shipping charges are primarily determined by:
- total shipment weight
- volumetric weight
- product dimensions
- delivery destination
- shipping method
- any additional delivery services selected
Where the checkout system can automatically calculate shipping, the applicable charge is displayed before the final order is submitted.
Bulky or unusually heavy orders may require a different transport method or individual shipping calculation.
In such cases, we may contact you before dispatch.
7. Minimum Order Value
The minimum online order value is €1, unless a different minimum is displayed by the checkout system for a particular transaction.
8. Order Tracking
Where the selected carrier provides online tracking, a tracking number or tracking facility may be made available.
Updates after dispatch may depend on the information system operated by the relevant carrier.
9. Delivery Delays
Delivery may occasionally be delayed due to circumstances including:
- severe weather
- strikes
- exceptional events
- unusually high shipment volumes
- carrier delays
- remote destinations
- inability to locate the recipient
- incomplete or incorrect delivery information
If your order is significantly delayed, please contact us so that we can investigate the shipment status.
10. Damaged Parcels or Products
We recommend checking the external condition of the parcel upon delivery.
If the package shows obvious serious damage, you may notify the carrier at the time of delivery.
If you discover that a product has been damaged in transit, please contact us as soon as possible at aristidouprint@gmail.com or +302610270010.
To help us investigate quickly, please provide where possible:
- your order number
- photographs of the product
- photographs of the outer and inner packaging
- a short description of the issue
This procedure helps us investigate the damage and does not restrict your statutory consumer rights.
11. Lost or Undelivered Parcels
If your shipment appears significantly delayed or has not been delivered within the expected period, please contact us.
We will check the shipment status with the relevant carrier and inform you of the outcome.
For consumer orders, responsibility for goods until delivery is governed by applicable law and the Terms and Conditions of the online store.
