try a jump test (stand on table, min. 1 Metre height and jump on package) if not as required, try thicker board and cardboard.

sending framed prints, by MGK1 on Dec 29, 2010 17:55:32 GMT 1, yep, i had a bad experience, i bought a dstq it was framed, the sender wrapped it in 3 inches of bubble wrap with thick card next to it in spme more bubble wrap then in a sturdy box with fragile written all over it. They still managed to break the glass and parcel force would'nt issue compensation
i think you're best bet is to either take the glass out or deliver it yourself otherwise i would stay well clear

I can guarantee that a bit of sticky paper will not protect it from a size 9 boot from some of these moronic delivery guys. Do not try and lull the populus into a false sence of security by using sticky tape, now if you had said Kevlar!!!!

Who would think that duck tape only would protect a frame???
Ducktape on the glass + bubble wrapping paper (you have to keep wrapping as long as you can feel the frame) + cardboard + something to block the wholes for the frame not to move in the box...
Even with the safest packagin, the glass can break the way the parcel are handled. Tape on the glass just give you more security..
If we think as you think, just go deliver it yourself and even then you're not sure it would arrive completely safely..
