HELP Wanted - Shipping Issue, by Matt on Oct 15, 2014 20:59:36 GMT 1, Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right place to post but couldn't think of a better place...
Have a few pieces which will be framed by Gary
- MyDog Sighs "You Me Us" in Red and in Gold
- Charming Baker "Fall to Alms"
- Invader "Pink Space One" and "Invasion Kit 15"
- Pure Evil "Chris Stein's Nightmare" in black and lilac, hand finished, already framed with drips and blobs
No more room on my walls in London, so will put them up in Paris where I have a flat.
Posting 7 frames will probably cost a fair bit (plus the hassle of insurance, packaging etc) I have no car, and Eurostar also too complicated.
Was thinking of hiring driver+van to drive them across the channel. Is this idea stupid ? If not any suggestions on who to turn to ?
Thanks for any pointers
Matt

I'd bite the bullet and use Flight Logistics in my opinion

HELP Wanted - Shipping Issue, by Poster Bob on Oct 15, 2014 21:32:54 GMT 1, I would only hire a "man with a van" if I were to ride with them for the whole time. Also, use a reputable firm. You do hear stories now and again about them selling information to thieves.

HELP Wanted - Shipping Issue, by Matt on Oct 15, 2014 21:44:21 GMT 1, Thanks for the thoughts, much appreciated !
Framing in France not an option, have no time to take care and Gary has gone out of his way to accommodate my crazy schedule and find a pick up window this week.
By "Man With a Van" i meant a professional service, not a chap advertised on GumTree !! But had not thought about tipping off to thieves and the fact they can also be careless etc…
Flight logistics will probably be my best option in that case. Will see with Gary for the packing, and/or have a wooden crate done possibly
As for the Beaujolais Nouveau let's just say i will stick to the proverbial "don't drink and frame" :-)

HELP Wanted - Shipping Issue, by Matt on Oct 15, 2014 22:23:07 GMT 1, Looks like flight logistics it is.
JAlternatión : had indeed though about offering week end in Paris provided friend takes the frames, but timing does not work…What we need here is a combo of DHL and AirBnB : you can stay in my place provided you manage some logistics for me !

HELP Wanted - Shipping Issue, by urbanhangings on Oct 17, 2014 19:10:32 GMT 1, Don't use a courier to get these to France . It's only over the water . Most art shipping companies have a weekly truck service to Paris .
Here are some ask them all for a quote . It'll be safer on a art truck less handling ect.
The British shop
Adam crease shipping
Air sea packing
Hedleys humpers
Cadogan Tate
Williams hill
All operate art trucks to Paris
Hope this helps
