When you decide to ship antiques, it’s important to choose a reputable shipping company with experience in working with fragile items. Many older antiques require highly specific techniques to prevent damage from shipping straps or other types of damage that standard shipping techniques may cause.

A good shipping company should provide a signed receipt explaining how it will ship antiques. They should inquire about the antiques’ condition, and should request information about the antiques’ materials. They should provide information about how they plan to secure the antiques as well as measures that will be taken to avoid heat or cold damage (which can be particularly damaging to antiques with wooden or hard metal components).

In order to ship antiques safely, you will have to ship each item separately from other items that are being moved, or special measures must be taken to secure and isolate antiques. Collectors know that antiques can be worth thousands of dollars, and they increase in value. Spending a few extra minutes to find a reputable company before you ship antiques is a solid financial decision, and will help you to keep your valuables in good condition during transit.
