UNIQUELY SKILLED TO HANDLE ARTWORK
Sculpture Shipping Services
We know you have choice when it comes to selecting a company for packaging and shipping sculptures. As you evaluate providers, it is important to keep in mind that many internet-based and retail pack and ship centers don’t have the knowledge or expertise to handle one-of-a-kind items that require special expertise and attention. In fact, many shipping agencies use prefabricated boxes and if your item fits, it ships! This method may work for everyday items, but not an original artwork such as a glass or hand-carved statue.

At Craters & Freighters Phoenix, we take immense pride in our expertise in handling and transporting delicate and valuable art pieces, particularly sculptures of immense artistic and cultural significance.

Our commitment to excellence has earned us the trust of esteemed institutions such as the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Christie’s of New York, Sotheby’s, and Barrett Jackson Auctions.
