Safe Shipment for Art Items

Whenever I ship goods and fragile items to my homeland, safety is always my number one priority. Once I have sent picture frames placed inside a huge box together with other consumable items and RTWs (ready-to-wear). I sent it in the Philippines and by the time my parents opened it they complained that the glasses where shattered due to minimal protection being placed around it. I realized I should have safeguarded it to have avoided the damage. Lesson, it’s difficult to take chances.

Next time, I will be very careful in handling this problem like how art shipment company does. One very good source of information I have read is from imaginemindseye.com. They have enumerated the tips in protecting fragile items. One of which is the use of crate. There award-winning business have gained them reputable respect from customers in the museum and art industry.

In Mr. Bean movie where he played as Dr. of Arts, there was a scene when the painting of a mother was placed in a secure Art Storage. Delivered through a climate controlled truck done by authorized staffs. The room where the painting was displayed was fully automatic. With a single click, the painting disappears from the site of spectators and reappears upon certain time schedule. Seeing such high tech museum is one of dream.
