US delivery only!, by Inknart on Jun 7, 2017 22:00:47 GMT 1, Evening all, I have been offered a piece of art today that i've been after for some time. Unfortunately the seller does not ship to the UK and only ships domestically within the US. Have been racking my brain for distant relatives/close friends in the states, to ask a favour but have drawn a bit of a blank. Does anyone know of a service of some kind that would take care of onward shipping for me? Or a courier service that i could arrange to collect from the seller (CA) and deliver to me in the UK? The work is somewhat valuable. Any American friends willing to help me out? I'd be happy to add some money for your troubles on top of the shipping costs to the UK. Thanks

Expensive, but they will pickup, pack, ship. |

I'll caveat it by noting that my issue wasn't art related nor was it a fragile item. Here are a few parcel forwarding services I came across that you may be interested in investigating further;
Stackry,
USgoBuy,
Vyking Ship and
MyUS.
I'll also note that I didnt end up using a service (found a US-based friend), so I can't personally vouch for these. Good luck and I hope you're successful in landing the piece you're after.

US delivery only!, by The True Cubs Fan on Jun 8, 2017 1:18:31 GMT 1, Seems a bit strange the seller of a valuable artwork wouldn't ship it internationally with proper packaging and insurance...or is this a common thing?
It could easily cost $80-$100 to ship to the U.K. With tracking and insurance, I've had people in the past not ship to the Us for the same reason. Seems a little silly when a buyer is spending hundreds (or more) of dollars on art and is happy to pay, but some people prefer not to have to deal with customs forms and the hassle.

customs from NY to London just cost 200USD (around 150.00GBP) for a 19x19x12 inch box weighing aprox 12kg, postage was around the sameโฆ.making shipping to the good ole USA a pretty frightening prospect for most!
