I would imagine a large painting would need some very secure packing if it is on stretched canvas.

Absolutely no way would it cost ยฃ60 if packaged correctly...just as cheap to drive over there yourself and save cash on the packaging !

Thought 60 quid was a very low price.

ยฃ60 is very cheap for something large and well framed...seems too good to be true mate, hence my reply.

Best postage companies to send to Holland?, by artofficial82 on Jan 17, 2018 23:31:51 GMT 1, Within UK/Europe 60pounds will barely do for 1m x 1m but which country are you referring from/to? My experience is the local office works fine when using UK or US -> Holland. Fact being that all the risk is during transit. The service you chose wont make the difference imo, just try to get it as shockproof as possible.
I only sended and received prints in sturdy tubes from US/UK to Holland so far using either USPS UPS or RoyalMail & upgrade to their priority services. Most use air traffic transfer but it being a fairely large outer box their rates could scare you. UPS has always been nice to me btw.
