Shipping

DO NOT SEND ANYTHING WITHOUT FIRST CONTACTING ME!
If you are sending an item, use 6 sheets of stiff cardboard, 3 on each side of the item. The cardboard should be 3” larger than the item on all sides. Tubes , unless very heavy-duty, are not recommended, as they often get caught in the shippers’ automated equipment and are easily crushed.
DO NOT USE US POSTAL SERVICE!
Use UPS, FedEx, or DHL and e-mail me a tracking number so I can keep an eye on the progress of your shipment.

Payment

Payment can be made by cash, check, or money order. Half of the balance will be due upon approval of the estimate and half upon receipt of the treated item.

Insurance

It is recommended that you alert your insurer when a work of art is transported to my studio. If requested, insurance coverage can be purchased at a nominal fee.
