*** Question on BANKSY Box Set shipment to US ***, by jB on Oct 12, 2017 20:30:46 GMT 1, Greetings everyone,
For those that have been shipped a Box Set from the Walled Off Hotel or secondary sales, I am curious to know how they were packaged. I have recently purchased one myself, but it needs to be shipped to the US. My understanding is that the concrete is glued to the frame so cannot be removed for transit. What would the best way to ship it? Put some packaging material in the frame to protect the print? Or best to just bubble wrap the entire frame heavily?
Any guidance that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
jB

2. Fill the frame inside with packaging material (bubble wrap - a lot, then close the backside of the frame again), otherwise the stone will get loose and brake, as the glue is not very good
3. fill the shipping box with tons of bubble wrap, so nothing can move inside
worked perfectly for me like that. I´ve heard stories and seen pictures, where the stone got loose, broke and destroyed the whole print and scratched the glas..
good luck!
