He didn't even realise. Things can go wrong with any company.
Sending a framed print will always be a bit risky. Just make sure you box it up and use plenty on bubble wrap.

I'll contact Steve as well to see if they ship the other way or if he knows of anyone who does.
Thanks

Most galleries like to use him he is very reliable and keeps you up to date.

Steve at FL is great but this will need excellent packing with plyboard and bubble wrap and even then, one small drop by a driver will cause the glass to crack and therefore you risk damaging the print.
Why not either have the print removed from the frame or at the very least, have the glass removed?
