Shipping Art โข UK, USA, Asia, Europe, by eduarandres on Sept 20, 2009 13:08:32 GMT 1, Hi
Many times i have paid way too much for shipping and sometimes it takes 4-5 days to arrive
Sometimes having problems with weight and size.. too big or too heavy
I wanted to tell people wich one im using now so other people can benefit from it
www.pharosparcel.com
they use UPS wich mean they will pick it up from your house and deliver next day and you will also have traking numbers
1-10 kilos its about ยฃ9 and to spain.. sweden and other european destinations ยฃ20 ( size not a problem ) i think america its expensive but for uk and near european countries its good
AND YOU CAN USE PAYPAL
PLEASE SHARE WITH US IF YOU HAVE A BETTER COMPANY

looks god but then you have to wait for companies to contact you?
i think that you ship when you need to ship so having to wait is not a really good idea but it is probably best if you are moving house and all that but dont think is as good for artwork

You can get a quote direct from website.
They use DHL and TNT but at a fraction of the cost....

is this something new? I've had many pieces shipped in wood crates of all shapes and sizes from the UK and have never had any issue with this...

It could have been an excuse for why it was late shipping but thought I would mention it...

Shipping Art โข UK, USA, Asia, Europe, by popmozz on Oct 27, 2010 9:36:15 GMT 1, This is not a sale thread but supporting all sales/trades outside London and so maybe giving us all a little less headaches?
Again and again we are all looking for companies doing a good job in packing, shipping, customs clearance and and and..
Receiving goods from a dozen of shipping agents all have a different tracking & trace system (some have non), some deliver on weekends some dont even give any information at all (ok, refering to the service level you booked).
And if we sell one of our babies it starts all again.
I get many - even framed - artwork never had a bigger problem so far. But last two experience with a huge US-courier were really awful. One piece they shipped back into the States after three days and two delivery attemps. Second piece - a bigger sculpture - high in value - was just dropped in front of my house, people passing by the whole day...
So maybe it is time to pick up this topic and looking for who is best, who is worst and maybe getting kind of framework with at least some specialists.
If that was posted and approached (and failed) before, sorry for waisting your time reading this.
But I think we all would profit from the experiences we all together made with shipping agents from/to UK - US - Europe - Asia - Australia.
What do you think - a poll for each continent could help???
I know wrong chapter - but I would like to give it the best attention in a first attempt. If not needed happy Silky to delete this or push into another stream.

As far as other shippers are concerned i have never had any problems with UPS but im sure others may have?.

Based on previous deals with Harveyn you'd get a package the size of a bath tub if you bought a Slinkachu close shave off him.
As far as other couriers go I just avoid Royal Mail. I think they have a very good football team on their nightshift coz everything I've sent through them before has got the sh*t kicked out of it.

Never had a problem and at the moment I am having a 2 x 2.5 m piece shipped from USA to Denmark. Price = 350 GBP.
Beat that...

Some others 'charge like a wounded bull' and lack the whole' service element'
Flight logistics make it nice and painless, good communications and price seems pretty fair too

Shipping Art โข UK, USA, Asia, Europe, by not2serious on Nov 15, 2010 15:03:29 GMT 1, I recently purchased an original painting on board (28" x 36") at an auction house in London, England and need to have it packaged and shipped to the Philadelphia area, USA. The problem is, the auction house does not appear to have a shipper that they deal with to use for this service. Over the past 12+ years, I have purchased a few pieces in Europe from auction houses and never had a problem finding a shipper.
So, I am reaching out to the community to see if they could provide some guidance. I think the bigger issue, would be finding someone to pick-up the piece from the auction house and pack it before shipping. But, this should not be a big deal.
Thank all, N2S
