Shipping Art valued Items Advice, by Brushstrokes 75 on Jan 25, 2011 9:36:42 GMT 1, Hey,
I think this has been mentionned earlier but I'm choosing the laziest path.
Does anyone know any shipping carrier, delivering worlwide, who fully ensures art?
I know that many carriers won't reimburse damages or loss if the content of the parcel is art.
Doesn't matter the price. All I need is something fast & fully insured!
Thanks
Edit : I heard a lot of people recommending Flight Logistics saying it was a really good shipping company. Do they as well fully insured art?

FedEx covers up to $1000 (?), with DHL you can pay an extra โฌ5 for insurance up to โฌ2000 on any shipment.

You can buy one-off insurance on anything you ship. It doesn't work out that cheap in the long run.
Check the small print as I dont think DHL will cover art over a certain price. I'm not convinced that Flight Logistics are fully insured either.
Best way is to insure your whole collection with a subclause that covers it in worldwide transit. That way anything you sell and then send will be covered until it reaches its destination.
