Challenges
‘‘
Each artwork is the hard work of artist; we do not want to see that artwork is damaged again because of logistics and distribution issues!
Something unpleasant happened when El Arte appointed a forwarder in delivering artworks years ago. The artwork was damaged during transportation, result in a 6-figure loss. Although insurance companies covered the damages, the artwork was unique and could not be valued solely on monetary terms. Therefore, choosing a suitable logistics solution is one of the challenges the team has been facing over the years.
In addition, when the team arranges the import and export of artworks, detailed customs declaration documents are always required. For employees who lack logistics knowledge, this could be another a big challenge.
Our Solution
‘‘
Professional freight solution from FreightAmigo is here to help!
First of all, FreightAmigo’s professional team first evaluated the size, weight, transportation route and mode of these paintings, and then customized a suitable plan specially for this shipment. After our evaluation, we decided to put the wrapped paintings into a custom-made wooden box, and then use shock-absorbing materials as fillers to enhance shock-absorbing effects.
In terms of document procedures, in order to avoid delays in shipment due to missing documents, FreightAmigo will provide one-stop service, arrange freight insurance and assist in customs clearance in addition to door-to-door freight solutions and professional packaging services. Therefore, when we were handling this fine art shipment, we purchased additional freight insurance for El Arte in 1-stop, ensure a comprehensive freight protection for this batch of paintings.
