ADVICE Bonhams shipping cost & alternatives, by anarquee on Mar 23, 2011 15:59:50 GMT 1, Hi!
a friend of mine recently bought a piece of art at a Bonham's auction.
The item (worth about 700£) is 55x75 cm and has to be shipped flat.
He was asked fot 350£ for shipping to Italy and it seems they don't consider finding a cheaper option.
This shipping rate seems a bit high considering the value of the item.
Anyone outside UK had the same problem?
Is there a way to save some money?
Thanks in advance

If its Bonhams Knightsbridge they did have a courier place opposite that they would allow to collect. Pretty sure it was mail boxes etc www.mbe.co.uk/londonknightsbridge |

it was an option he considered but we're not sure about bringing the art on the plane because of size and fragility!
