Ebay and postage, by JD on Jul 23, 2012 16:26:04 GMT 1, Advice please. If I was selling a heavily framed, museum glass etc framed print. And assuming that someone from the other end of the UK buys it. What do I say about postage, and how much roughly will it be ? Also how do I guarantee the glass doesnt break in transit ? Is it easier to just sell unframed ?

I've only ever sent one framed art work but I covered both sides in hardboard too with the tubes on the edges. It got to the USA in one piece.
It depends on size and value. Size is not the issue it's the value IMO.
Interparcel are not too bad
I purchased a large OG a few years back and it turned up with one sheet of bubble wrap and the delivery driver was near enough juggling it down the drive. Thing is that was sent from a very well know gallery. I was lucky as it was intact.
