What happens if my artwork is damaged in transit?

Unfortunately, no one knows what may happen in transit. For this reason, we highly recommend that you purchase special fine art shipping insurance for your priceless artworks to be fully prepared to deal with contingencies. It covers both restoration (if the damage can be repaired) and replacement (if the item is totally destroyed or stolen).

None of us know what lies around the corner. Thereby, no matter whether you are going to move your priceless belongings locally or ship them internationally, it is highly recommended that you purchase appropriate fine art insurance to keep your assets covered.

Can you help insure my shipment?

Yes, at Fine Art Shippers, we can help with all the documentation needed for organizing a specialized art insurance package for items of any kind, including gallery insurance and museum insurance.

What are the benefits of white glove delivery?

White glove delivery means taking extra care when handling exceedingly fragile and expensive items. It presupposes individual approach to each client, outstanding service, custom packing and crating, on-time delivery to anywhere in the world, and many more.

Do you offer same-day delivery options?

Yes. We have profound experience in same-day deliveries in NYC, Miami, Chicago, London, and other our locations. Besides, in some cases, we can handle our clients’ shipping needs even within several hours if necessary.

How long has Fine Art Shippers been in the business?

A long history does not necessarily presuppose high-quality services but still means considerable experience gained over the years. Fine Art Shippers has been in the business since 1995, transporting items of any kind and value, from fine art prints and paintings to large art installations, sculptures, and home appliances.

Do you offer art storage services?

Yes, Fine Art Shippers offers professional art storage services. Our secure warehouses are located in Elizabeth, NJ and Brooklyn, NYC, each covered by the umbrella insurance for the full value of the stored items, be it a tiny statue or a bulky furniture set. In addition, we provide safe art storage services in Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Washington, D.C., London, Paris, Hong Kong, and many other cities across the world.

Why hire professional movers?

Hiring professional white glove movers is a more reliable option than attempting to move your precious possessions on your own. Expert movers know how to navigate the roads, and they can properly handle even the most fragile and delicate items, keeping them safe during transit. Hence, opting for professional relocation help will surely maximize the chances of having a smooth and stress-free moving experience.

Can I pack my belongings myself?

Certainly, you can. However, keep in mind that if you are shipping something very fragile and valuable, it is better to entrust the packing process to professionals. At Fine Art Shippers, we offer a range of packing and crating services to meet any needs and requirements, from a full-service packing option to part packing assistance.

How to prepare my appliances for a move?

At Fine Art Shippers, we will take care of all the packing and wrapping for you, but you can still do some preparatory work to make the process more effective. When packing home appliances, refer to the manual. Clean the stove inside and out and remove or securely fasten the racks. Empty the dishwasher units, remove and pack the utensil holders and racks separately. Unplug your appliances and secure them with packing tape. Pack unbreakable, light items in empty caverns, such as the oven or refrigerator. Tape and secure all doors, extra nuts, screws, and cords before moving.
