Artbiz has compiled this short list of art shippers. I have only had the experience of using Art Packed; which was a good one and can not vouch for the others on the list. If you have some experiences or know of a good shipper and want to share them with others please provide your comments below, share and share alike!
Art Packed
Art Packed is a Calgary based shipper and covers mostly western Canada but can hook you up with another shipper if you need to go across the border. I have used him and he is good. Art Packed posts a monthly updated schedule on his site
Crown Fine Art
Ships world wide – their site is easy to navigate to find the location and contact information of the office in your area. They have offices in Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver.
US Art
Ships world wide and is based in the US – the site isn’t clear if they pick up in Canada, you would need to contact them to inquire.
Go Navis
Navis Pack & Ship specializes in the packing, crating, and shipping of fine art and have 5 locations in Ontario.
Pacart
Pacart came recommend by one of my readers and they say with “good results”. Pacart ships across Canada and goes into the states (Chicago and New York). There is a monthly schedule posted on their site.
