Our team will help you choose based on your needs, budget, and destination.
You can fill out the Shipping Estimator form with details such as what you're shipping, whether the item is fragile, approximate dimensions (L × W × H), and weight. We'll reply with a personalized quote based on that information.
Shipping carriers often charge based on DIM weight, which considers the amount of space a package takes up, not just its scale weight. If your package is light but large, the DIM weight may be higher than its actual weight, increasing shipping costs. Efficient packing can help reduce DIM weight charges.
Yes. Our Professional Packing Services can customize box sizes for efficient shipping, use internal blocking, bracing, and impact-resistant padding, and recommend box-in-box techniques for fragile or valuable items. Often, the cost you save on reduced carrier charges outweighs the packing fee — and you gain peace of mind knowing your item is packed by experts.
Submit a simple form with what you're shipping, whether it contains fragile materials, and item dimensions and weight. We'll provide a quote so you can decide before any work begins.
To ensure safe transit:

• Use sturdy corrugated boxes with intact flaps
• Do not use lightweight gift or shoe boxes as the primary shipping container
• Heavy or fragile items should be box-in-box packed with 3″ of cushioning between boxes
• Wrap liquids in sealed plastic bags
• Include inside labels with both sender and recipient information
• Use strong tape applying the H-taping method

Following these guidelines helps protect items and prevent damage.
Yes — we offer specialized Art Packaging & Shipping services for unique, valuable, or delicate pieces. This includes a consultation to discuss your art logistics, custom packing solutions (such as crating and double-boxed protection), photographic documentation of packaging stages, and coordination with carriers and customs documentation for domestic or international shipment.
Shipping costs depend on multiple factors, including origin & destination, choice of delivery speed, package dimensions and weight (actual vs DIM weight), and carrier service level. Our team will explain these elements and help you choose the best options for your budget and timeline.
