We use them all the time and had no problem so far.

Courier systems would probably not be cheap for something like that, but that type of courier might be your only option if the canvas is not in a good wooden crate.
I'd also call courier local to the collection point. I used to work at a courier, so usually couriers outside London are a bit cheaper and easier if you talk to them direct than pay courier systems to do the same thing for you.

It will be a disaster. Have had a delivery from Leonard Street, properly packed and marked and came back damaged. Also watched while the delivery bloke chucked a canvas on the floor before throwing a box of print on top of it.
These are among many disasters I've had.
If the piece is worth it use a door to door courier who's less likely to not give a toss.
By the way, Leonard Street were very accommodating. Thanks Alexa.
