Shipping paintings

Hello all,


I hope some of you can give me some ideas. I am getting ready to send some paintings (oil on stretched canvas) from France to the US. So any of you know of a company that you would recommend for both cost and reliability? I can put weights and dimensions on Parcels Please and La Poste once I have them packaged up but thought I would find out about any alternatives form people in the know! Thanks very much for the help.

Hi - I shipped to NY last year using: http://www.wedelivertheworld.co.uk/quote/index.php

It worked both ways, perfectly ok - they sub-contract - in this case I think it was DHL - but for some reason it's cheaper doing it this way.

The important thing is to package properly. I got some good painting packaging stuff from:

and

My American friends from NYC use Flight Logistics... some use http://www.dbschenkerusa.com/log-us-en/start/ but that is from US to France... Hope it helps x
