Posting a framed print?, by ยฉhief' on Apr 22, 2010 12:11:49 GMT 1, Looking for some advice.
I'm looking to post a framed print within the UK.....
Anybody posted a framed print? Can it be done safefully?
Is it mega expensive?
Any tips on couriers that offer this service would be much appreciated.
Thanks

If you want to ship something framed with glass you probably have to have a crate made and use a specialist art shipper - and that will be pretty expensive.
Best option I have found is to take the print out of the frame and send the print and frame but without the glass - the receiver can get glass put back in their end for relatively little cost.

Flight Logisitics are great - very helpful and reasonable price. They can custom build crates as well for bomb proof protection (almost!)
Give Steve a call on 0117 304 1000.....

Posting a framed print?, by burn111 on Apr 22, 2010 13:19:52 GMT 1, hey mate if you are sending in the uk might be a good idea to meet up 1/2 way with the buyer and do the deal like that if you don't really want to post it
i have sent framed prints in the post and had no probs just wrap it really well with bubble wrap and then brace it with cardboard then send it next day delivery
Note - i wouldn't send any framed prints in the post if they are worth over ยฃ1000 just in case anything did happen if they are cheap prints its not so bad face to face is the best way
