Selling to overseas buyer , by s020 on Oct 7, 2013 10:16:19 GMT 1, I'm new to the art world and this forum. Could anybody please help me with advice for shipping a framed print to Norway? Any risks or things I should do to ensure they get print in perfect condition and I get money?
Any help appreciated

I would recommend Flight Logistics for shipping and I also highly recommened have casing, This will protect the artwork. Flight Logistics do provided casing service. Insurance the artwork more then artwork is worth uncase print gets damaged via flight. The artwork in question, is print framed with glass or acrylic?. You have to be extra careful If you have glass. You will need casing if you have glass.
Plan B, i.e., If you was sending a signed banksy worth around 15k, I would have artwork unframed.
Flight Logistics can be contactable on 01753 763 500

I have had some high value pieces with glass shipped with Flight, and they are very good at it

Chances are the frame will not be to new owners taste.

source a decent tube .. not an easy task ... ask your framer , they normally have a few.
2 if you can't , crate it (as discussed it'll cost you)....
Norway ? I'm guessing it's a Dolk print ..
good luck.

Unfortunately the shipping costs were going to be over 650$, so after a discussion with the buyer we agreed to ship it unframed which brought the cost down significantly and it arrived to him in perfect condition.

Selling to overseas buyer , by kazzazz on Oct 14, 2013 17:53:51 GMT 1, I have shipped things that I have purchased from US and Australia....never had an issue....always had very good quotes from shopping around different shipping companies. I have used a company called 'Pack and Send' many times and they are excellent.....experts with shipping fragile stuff. I would never let this put you off unless the shipping is more expensive than the actual item.
