Moving Your Collection?, by Eric Pause on Jan 23, 2017 20:11:43 GMT 1, In the next few months I'll be relocating to a new home (about 3400km away), and of course I'll be bringing my collection with me. It consists of many glass framed pieces, a few paintings without glass, and a few dozen vinyl figures.
I was wondering if anyone here has had to make a long-distance move with their art collection, and if they have any tips on smart ways to package or ship their pieces, what to avoid, or any other helpful tips.
Thanks!

I guess plenty of bubble wrap and maybe keep them all verticle and in different size boxes.

good luck in your new home Pause.

Dont brake sharply for animals in the road at night and put big bull bars on your vehicle.

Just make sure everything is wrapped properly in bubblewrap and paper wrap the vinyls.
Get some crates made, pack everything carefully in made to measure crates.
Call Flight Logistics +44 1753561100, ask for Steve and tell him your pick-up address and delivery address.
If need be, you can also ask him for packaging.
Also make sure everything is properly insured, for just in case..
