Credit Terms:
FR Bronze is no longer offering new credit accounts
due to the fact that we are wholesale. We require
payment upfront for all purchases. Existing
customers and Government Agencies with credit
accounts will still be honored.
Out of Stock Items
We try to maintain inventory on most items, but if
your item is out of stock we will contact you and
let you know how long it will be before the item can
be shipped and you will be given the option to keep
the order or to receive a refund. If the order
cannot be filled within 3 to 6 weeks we will
automatically process your refund. We will also
refund backorders if there are large changes in
commodities on energy prices. Unfortunately, bronze
ingot prices are affected daily by the metal market
which is very volatile. Bronze prices are also
directly affected by energy prices. The above things
can change prices without notice.
International Sales
All sales on international orders are final. We do
not always ship international due to the extreme
weight of bronze, international shipping can often
be 2 to 3 times the price of the product itself. We
do not do refunds on international orders, we do
insure all international shipping against damage and
refunds can be given if the product is received
damaged. We cannot issue any refunds or replacements
until the product is returned by the buyer or the
shipper. It is especially important on large pieces
to inspect right when it is received, if it cannot
be opened immediately it is very important to have
the driver make note of any damage to the package or
crate.
Shipping is included in the price to U.S. lower 48
states
Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, or any country outside
of the US will have additional shipping charges
applied if it can be done. If you have any questions
on shipping charges outside of the lower 48 states
please contact us.
Shipping
Shipping is included in the price of the product, if
the product is returned the price of the product
will be refunded minus what the shipping charges
were. If you need to know the approximate shipping
costs on a piece please call us. The buyer is also
responsible for any return shipping and insurance
charges. We ship with FedEx and UPS for ground
packages, for larger packages we quote with common
freight carriers. We do not use white glove delivery
services, this means buyer will be responsible for
moving the piece, unpacking and inspection within 7
days of receiving the piece. It is best to inspect
large pieces immediately and let the driver know if
the crate package or the product has any damage on
it. Please have the driver make a note on the
shipping paperwork before you sign it.
Custom Quotes may be quoted without shipping prices
included.

This wonderful video shows the complete process of
the true and traditional lost wax casting process
from start to finish. This
complete process takes 20 to 30 days and requires a
massive amount of labor, energy and resources from
start to finish.
It is commonly thought that bronze sculptures are
simple to make and all that is required is hot
molten metal that
is poured into a mold. This video gives a great
example and is a great educational tool. This gives
a greater
understanding and respect for the entire process to
get to the final product or finished bronze using
the
traditional lost wax casting process.
A
special thanks to AP Casting - bronze
sculpture art gallery in Israel
