MASTER THE ART OF ART SHIPPING: SAFE, SIMPLE, AND SECURE SOLUTIONS
When it comes to shipping valuable, fragile artwork, choosing the right shipping solution is essential. uShip connects you with experienced art transporters—many offering white glove or special care services—who know how to handle fine art with precision and protection.
Packaging matters most. Improper packing is the leading cause of damage during transit. While many art shipping companies offer professional packing services, you can also ask your transporter for guidance to pack your piece securely.
Before listing your shipment, take time to:
- Measure and weigh your artwork accurately
- Include clear photos and detailed descriptions
- Specify any handling or delivery needs
Once your listing is live, you’ll receive multiple quotes. To find the right artwork shipping service, compare pricing, customer reviews, and past art shipment experience. Reviewing shipping artwork cost alongside carrier profiles helps ensure your artwork gets the care it deserves.
Be sure to verify each carrier’s insurance and licensing. For added peace of mind, you can purchase optional cargo protection directly through uShip at checkout.

HOW TO SHIP ART WITH USHIP IN 3 SIMPLE STEPS
Shipping art with uShip is simple and secure. Just follow these steps to ensure your pieces are handled with care and delivered confidently.
1. Create Your Shipment Listing
Start by entering key details: pickup and delivery locations, timeframes, and the dimensions and weight of your artwork. Clearly explain how the piece will be packed for transport, and upload clear photos.
2. Choose the Right Service
Once your listing goes live, you’ll receive quotes from artwork delivery service providers ready to earn your business. Use uShip’s direct messaging to ask questions about their experience, packing options, and past work with art and antiques.
3. Book Your Delivery
After selecting your carrier, finalize any details—like third-party contacts or access instructions—and confirm your pickup and delivery timeline. Your chosen transporter will coordinate directly with you, and uShip support is always here to help if questions come up before, during, or after the shipment.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO SHIP PAINTINGS?
The cost to ship paintings depends on several factors, including distance, dimensions, fragility, and the level of service required. If your artwork needs white-glove handling or custom crating, that will influence the final price. Here’s what to expect:
Short-distance shipments (under 100 miles) average around $1.77/mile
Longer hauls (up to 1,000 miles) typically average $0.34/mile
IN-HOME DELIVERY FOR ONLINE ART AND FURNITURE BUSINESSES
With 1 in 3 Americans more likely to buy oversized items online today than just five years ago, offering a premium delivery experience is essential to stay competitive with brands like Amazon and Wayfair. That’s where safe, secure in-home and white glove delivery makes all the difference—delivering the high-touch service your customers expect.
uShip’s In-Home Delivery solution is built for furniture and art retailers of all sizes. It provides reliable, first-to-final-mile delivery for large items at competitive rates. More than just affordability, this solution elevates the entire customer experience—from confident purchase decisions to final placement in the room of choice, with optional assembly.
Our logistics technology helps lower shipping costs while increasing conversion. With uShip, you get:
- Instant shipping rates are integrated into your checkout
