That’s how to ship art with confidence.

How to ship a painting for just a little coin

We know your treasures are, well, treasures. When you decide to get that beloved family heirloom portrait of your great-great-great-grandmother professionally framed, and need to find a way to get the painting to the framer and back home without draining your bank account, let Roadie show you how to ship a painting for just a little coin.

How to ship art if it’s heavy

Beautiful things can be big. And heavy. Drivers have all sorts of large, spacious vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks to ensure your heavy artwork is safely delivered. The details you give us when you set up your delivery will tell us what sort of vehicle can accommodate your big beautiful masterpiece. Because drivers aren’t movers, you may need to ask a friend to help load and unload the item if your artwork is heavy.

Pro tip: clear obstacles and open doors, and talk through how and where you’re going to carry it before you start moving. Have both people get a firm but gentle grip of the item, and coordinate your movements to get that art safely in the vehicle.
