For collectors: shipping your acquisitions with complete peace of mind
Once your purchase is confirmed, our team coordinates directly with the auction house, gallery, or seller for collection. You don't need to negotiate access, arrange carrier accounts, or source packaging materials. We handle all of it.
Every acquisition is assessed on its own terms. A large oil painting on canvas, a bronze sculpture, a set of decorative ceramics, or a vintage poster each receives packaging matched to its specific fragility, dimensions, and value. For particularly significant works, we recommend custom timber crating with internal foam supports designed to the exact dimensions of the piece.
Delivery is tracked in real time, with updates sent directly to you. Insurance is available on all shipments, assessed on the declared or hammer price of the work. And if you need the piece installed at destination hung correctly, positioned precisely our teams offer on-site installation as an add-on.
For dealers: make shipping part of the sale, not an afterthought
For professional art dealers, the ability to offer clients a seamless, fully managed shipping experience is increasingly a commercial expectation not a nice-to-have. Buyers who purchase from established galleries or recognised dealers expect the logistics to be handled with the same professionalism as the sale itself.
ThePackengers gives dealers the infrastructure to deliver exactly that, without building a logistics operation in-house. From the moment a sale is confirmed, you can generate a shipping quote, book collection, and share tracking information with your client all from a single interface, in a matter of minutes.
For dealers active across multiple channels gallery sales, art fairs, online platforms, private sales the ability to centralise all shipment management in one place is a significant operational gain.
