FOR FINE ART:

Whether it’s a painting, sculpture or other fine work of art, it is commonly believed that the majority of losses (damage) in art occur during transit. So when it comes to transporting fine art purchase(s), our customers want to work with a shipper who specializes in properly packing/crating the works and handling their transportation to and from their destinations with the utmost of care. Our customers have used and we can recommend the following services for their fine art shipping:

For larger items such as sofas, dining tables, hutches, etc., our customers have used (and we can recommend) the following for their large-item shipping needs:

Billiards / Pool Tables
Moving a billiards table (pool table) can be a complicated and expensive process. Many people think they can avoid using a pool table specialist and the costs associated with them by trying to move the whole, in-tact pool table themselves. They then realize the error of their ways and a whole new added expenditure ... having to dispose a broken pool table.

It's best to leave proper handling, moving, and care of billiards tables to the pool table pros who properly disassemble the table, carefully pack its pieces, and reassemble them at the new destination.

Our customers have had success with the following pool table movers:

... SHIPPING BEYOND THESE REGIONS:

Large, even "oversized" items, including fine antiques and stone based merchandise pose several challenges for ordinary shipping agencies when going long distances. Size and weight are often the biggest factor in pricing and sourcing the right shipping agency to carefully handle your newly purchased items. For such times and needs, our customers have used (and we can recommend) the following for their freight and large-item shipping services throughout the country:
