Boston Shipping Spotlight: Artwork

February 17, 2011 by admin

Building a fine art collection is an extremely personal, individual endeavor.  Every collector wants to find pieces of art that resonate with them personally: artwork that is emotionally moving, aesthetically pleasing, and culturally valuable. When you get down to what this looks like, you’ll get as many different answers as you have art collectors.

Some people build their art collections around unique textile pieces, like these crocheted portraits by Jo Hamilton. Other people prefer paintings. Still others prefer portraits done in stained glass. There are countless other options – and yet all of this artwork has one thing in common.

Shipping Artwork Requires Expertise

Packaging and shipping a crocheted portrait, which is soft and flexible, is a very different endeavor than packaging and shipping stained glass.  An expert Boston packaging and shipping company has the experience and knowledge to provide customized packaging solutions for many different types of artwork.  It’s critical to know how to cushion the artwork to prevent damage while it is in transit.  Custom crating involved designing and building packaging boxes or wooden crates specifically for your artwork.

Ensuring on-time delivery inside the home or gallery is essential to maintain security and guarantee that your artwork always reaches its final destination. Fine art and antiquities are, by their very nature, irreplaceable.  Extensive tracking abilities allow you to keep track of your artwork as it makes its journey.  Full insurance protects your investment.

Artists often have to ship artwork to galleries or collectors.  It’s well worth the investment for an artist to develop a strong working relationship with their local shipping company.  You can’t sell broken sculptures or shattered stained glass windows!

Shipping Artwork

Shipping artwork also involves making sure all the proper paperwork is in place.  Shipping paperwork can play a critical role in determining the ownership of artwork.   It’s essential to have everything filled out properly. Work with experts who know how to handle the job right!

"Working in support services for a large law firm, I consistently turn to Boston Pack and Ship for assistance in moving heavy equipment to our satellite offices, both in the U.S. and overseas. The shipments arrive in excellent condition, in a timely manner and are delivered professionally. Whenever we ship a large quantity of files to other offices, the most cost-effective method is to give them to Boston Pack and Ship and let them handle it. Without Boston Pack & ship backing me up, my job would be close to impossible."

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
