I am an emerging fine artist, and I was selected to be in an international exhibition in Vancouver as part of the AIRE exhibition, and thus my week-long research of customs, shipping, crates, and international shipping journey began. Fine Art Shippers stood out easily from the rest of the numerous companies I called that week, with their great customer service, the direct and clear answers to my many questions, and guiding me in what I needed to have in place crate wise, insurance, and packaging standards. The quote that I received over the phone and then later on in writing was perfect for an emerging artist and my emerging artist budget. The quick shipping dates were perfect for the deadline that I was working with and easily within my needed timeline to get it to the gallery on time. Later on, in our follow up conversations I have been so impressed with the warm and genuine desire of the owner of Fine Art Shippers to want to connect artists to those that will appreciate and support their artwork. I would and already have recommended Fine Art Shippers to others, as an art collector of mine was looking to move something internationally. I am excited to be working with this company in the future! The peace of mind that I have had, the confidence that my work will be in good hands has been such a godsend. read more

I had a very difficult time researching movers to ship an antique cabinet from TN to NYC. The auction house, Clements, gave me a list of shippers, but after I researched them, and read the most scathing reviews or received outlandish quotes for the job, I was very discouraged. So, I did my own research and found Fine Art Shippers. I read the mostly wonderful reviews and hired them, and I am so glad that I did. They were great every step of the way. Their operations mgr, Viola, was quick to respond to every question and detail. The driver, Lenny, was terrific and so wonderful in trouble shooting a problem I was having with the auction house. They first gave me a possible 2 day window for delivery. Then they narrowed it down to the exact day, day's before actual delivery. And then a couple of days before delivery, they zeroed in on a 2 hour time frame. New York City is a tough place to make deliveries, yet they made it right in the middle of that 2 hour time frame. They are extremely professional, from start to finish. And we came to terms for a reasonable price. I would never use anyone else but this company. read more

I used Fine Art Shippers for the first time this year to send artworks from my art studio in Washington D.C. to a gallery in Miami, and I'm planning in using their art transportation services again! My experience with this company was truly excellent. The person that handled my request and all the logistics was Mr. Elon Dash, and I must say that this man not only offers outstanding customer service, but is also highly professional! Do yourself a favor and get Elon to handle all of your art transportation needs; he is simply THE BEST! The process ran smoothly, and Elon made sure that I knew what was happening step-by-step. The prices for their services are right on point; the customer service is high quality, and the service that I requested was professionally completed. The artwork pick-up and packaging was done on time, the delivery was also done on time and professionally. Everything was done perfectly. Thank you Fine Art Shippers and Mr. Elon for being so professional and simply the best! This company is an A+++. read more

I needed to ship a 60"x78" painting from New York City to Piedmont, CA and found Fine Art Shippers via a search for art couriers. I requested a quote and Elon promptly responded and very patiently addressed my questions and concerns. Less than three weeks after our initial communication, the painting was in Piedmont and the recipient called me with nothing but praise for the delivery driver and the perfect condition of the painting after unwrapping. I had the same praise for the guys who came for the painting with a portable table and carefully wrapped it and took it away. All communication with Fine Art Shippers was excellent and every appointment was kept as promised. Elon was a pleasure to work with as were the handlers who transported with care. This is an exceptional, professional company, and I recommend them without reservation! My entire experience with them was positive and that is not common these days. read more

Fine Art Shippers did an outstanding job from beginning to end: packing and picking up art pieces and collectables at our home in Tucson, transporting them safely across country, and delivering and unpacking them in NY much faster than we expected. Upon my initial inquiry to learn more about the company's services, I was contacted promptly and given a detailed overview of options. After providing an inventory of items to be shipped, scheduling was prompt and easy. Before we knew it, the colorfully painted truck pulled up in our driveway and the packing was completed with care and efficiency. Our shipment was delivered to NY this morning and once again, the team was courteous, friendly, and efficient. Fine Art Shippers met all of our expectations and we will definitely use them again in the future if we have other art to ship. read more

AMAZING SERVICE! This was my first time ever shipping art across the country and I was super nervous. Due to COVID-19, I was in California but my paintings were in Rhode Island, spread across 3 different locations. But Oleg was incredibly helpful and flexible, and I had no doubt that he was taking good care of my paintings, even though I couldn't be there. The service was very fast, even in a global crisis, and the customer service was amazing. My paintings arrived in a giant wooden crate that was very easy to unload, and every painting was packed with extreme care. Use Fine Art Shippers if you want a small, personalized business that takes goes above and beyond to take care of artwork and make sure that the customer has the best possible experience. 10/10! read more

I highly recommend Fine Art Shippers! They packed, drove, unpacked and safely delivered a large, fragile painting and a heavy sculpture, shipping them from Cincinnati OH to Santa Monica CA. Adele was the contact person who made all the advance arrangements, and she was so helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. The art work arrived a day early and the driver called me well in advance too let me know exactly when to expect delivery. He carefully unpacked the fragile painting which was delivered straight to an art conservator, and then he cheerfully carried the heavy sculpture and loaded it in my car. Everything went so smoothly and perfectly. If I ever have an occasion to ship art work again, I wouldn't consider using anyone else. read more

I had a 1500lbs granite statue I needed shipped from Massachusetts to Benicia CA. I searched the internet for a company that might do this and came across Fine Art Shippers. I did some research on Fine Art Shippers and contacted Amy. She gave me a quote, guided me through the paperwork, and gave me ETAs for both the pickup in Massachusetts and delivery in CA. Fine Art Shippers stuck to the schedule. When the statue arrived I could see that it was wrapped and secured professionally and Max carefully off-loaded the statue at the agreed spot. I will definitely be using Fine Art Shippers for any future shipping needs and whole heartedly recommend them to anyone who needs art shipping services. John R. read more

I am a harpist that moved from Minneapolis to Vienna, Austria. Fine Arts Shippers moved my concert grande harp worth 17k overseas and it arrived in completely perfect condition within a month DURING a global pandemic. It has been a dream come true to have my harp of many years come with me in such a big life transition. They kept me updated and always replied promptly during the Harp's journey (even on weekends!). The one thing that caught me off guard was Austria's tax/customs. I would add that Fine Art Shippers don't inform you about a country's VAT or customs prices so do research that individually before shipping. Overall 10/10 very good service! read more

As Good as it Gets!! Ilya showed up at my home to package and ship a highly delicate and expensive art figurine. The figurine stood approx 22" tall and would be making a long trip from NY to a buyer in Europe. Ilya and Co had the perfect materials such as heavy duty cardboard which was cut down to specific size and heavy duty bubble wrap along with foam peanuts. At this point I felt very comfortable that this piece of art would safely make the long journey home. I will continue to use Fine Art Shippers as they have proven to be prompt, courteous and masters of all things packaging, shipping and delivery of fine art pieces. Thx, Matt R. read more

This was my first time using a fine art shipping company but recently the company I work with changed locations and it was my responsibility to ship a large valuable painting from New York to Arizona via their Crate services. I must say that "Fine Art Shippers" provided a remarkable service. I was very pleased and so was the recipient. From customer service to the pickup and delivery, everything went well. Viola was the best! Always available for any questions and concerns and the price was very reasonable. I will be recommending them to friends, colleagues and family going forward. E.S. read more

This is not the first time I'm using Fine Art Shippers and they've never disappointed me. I purchased a painting on Shapiro Auctions in the last sale. Fine Art Shippers did an amazing job of picking up the item and then packed it in a very professional manner, padded, with very strong carton and professional wooden crate and also made sure it arrived at my location promptly and without a scratch. The packing was amazing and the customer service with Oleg was excellent. All my questions were answered on time and their service was top-notch as usual. I will definitely recommend them anytime. read more

I was a recent auction bidder that purchased a unique framed Edison advertisement. After purchasing this item I was given several shipping companies to chose from of which I picked Fine Art Shippers. This was the best decision I made. This company understands how to protect their shipments. They went above and beyond what a normal shipper would do and they did it in a cost effective way not to mention the shipping was quick. If you ask me this should be your only option if you truly want to ship something you cherish. Well done Fine Art Shipping. T J Braun Brookfield, WI read more

I had a large porcelain figurine to ship from NY to California. Fedex refused to ship it because they couldn't provide sufficient insurance and claimed that the item was too delicate. Luckily I found Art Shipper. They had the item professionally packaged the same day I brought it in, with instructions on how to open the box upon delivery. They consistently provided updates via email and pictures. Their service is clearly a level above the big shipping companies. The item was delivered on time, in perfect condition, at a reasonable price. read more

Admittedly, I have not actually paid for and used their services. However, I called to get a quote and spoke to Ilya who very generously and kindly spoke to me on the phone for over 20 minutes answering my questions and giving me advice on the best way to pack and ship musical instruments. I appreciate the courtesy consulting and all the valuable information which he offered free of charge out of the goodness of his own heart simply because he likes logistics problem-solving and furthermore, he likes helping people. Thank you, Ilya! read more

We entrusted a family treasure to Fine Art Shippers, a brass and crystal chandelier, which moved from one generation to the next, from New York to New Mexico. They packed and unpacked the chandelier safely and delivered it on schedule, but it was the extra attention to the process that impressed me. They had a picture and dimensions, but they came to inspect chandelier before they picked it up, to ensure they had the right supplies, and explained in detail how they would pack it. Very reassuring. Very satisfied. read more

They perfectly packed and shipped across the country a century old fragile china cabinet with curved glass. They were extremely professional, provided excellent service, and patiently took the time to answer all of my questions (and there were a lot - I believe the email chain was over 40 emails!). It meant so much to me that my precious family heirloom was treated with care, and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to ship something of value - either monetary or simply sentimental. read more

These guys are the real deal! Oleg Kushnirsky and his son Ilya know exactly what they are doing when it comes to moving fine art. I recently hired them to move my precious cargo - including works by Picasso, Purvis Young, John Malin and Henry Moore - from NYC to Long Beach CA. They quoted me a fair price, came quickly and packed it all up, crated it carefully and shipped it immediately. All works arrived on time and safely intact. Love them! True professionals and really nice guys. read more
