INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING OPTIONS - Framed and Unframed

One of my most frequently asked questions is, do you ship overseas? 

The answer is yes I do! and to be totally transparent most of my work is shipped abroad. I hope to explain in more detail how my artwork can get to you, where ever you are in the world.

OPTION 1 - SHIPPING THE WORK FRAMED 
All my prices on my online catalogue include the price of the frame. Shipping is quoted on enquiry and I ask several couriers to get you the best possible price.

Pros of shipping framed.
- You don't have to worry about getting the work framed its ready to hang 
- Each frame is bespoke for the artwork and is to museum standard
- Any of my works can be shipped in this option where shipping unframed art is limited to Panel artworks only.

Cons of Shipping Framed
- The wait time can be 5-6 weeks as the frame is bespoke it needs to fit in with the schedule of the framers. Once framed a bespoke crate needs to be made for the artwork and this can only be done once the artwork is with the courier as they won't make a crate without the work.
- Shipping is higher for framed work.

OPTION 2 - SHIPPING THE WORK UN-FRAMED 

I can only ship my panel artwork overseas as this is the only work I can break down to a smaller size. The artwork is packaged in its panelled state, to archival standards in a handmade box made by expert craftsmen. These craftsmen have just made all the Bibles for the King's coronation. I then package it once again to be in a small parcel box to travel overseas.

Pros of shipping framed.
- I remove the cost of the frame from the catalogue price of the artwork. This can be up to £400 depending on which artwork you choose.
- You receive the artwork instantly with no wait time. 
- I am currently covering the shipping fee for shipping the artwork unframed abroad.

Cons of Shipping Framed
- It doesn't have the wow factor like you would have if the work arrived framed.
- You still need to have it framed. I will provide framing instructions for a professional framer to frame the work. I have contacts overseas in plenty of locations which I can provide framers recommendations, who have already worked with my artwork.
