We negotiate preferential volume rates with our partner carriers & pass those savings on to you. Our partner carriers charge based on the following:
Size
Weight
Artwork Value
Place of Origin
Destination (categorized into zones based on distance, with each zone having a set cost per kg)
Special Requirements, if any (e.g. extra padding for fragile sculptures)
Our website is configured to automatically calculate shipping based on the criteria we just listed, so you should not expect to be charged any adjustments for shipping after placing your order. You can rest assured that we do not mark up shipping costs with the intention of making a profit on them.
