International Shipping

[awdrifter]

Anyone here have any experience in shipping some large objects internationally? I'm shipping some paintings from China to the US. But even after they are rolled their length is 150cm (59.1 inch). The China Post Office says they can't ship it because it's longer than 105cm (41.37 inch). So does anyone know if Fedex or UPS can ship this? Anyone has any experience shipping long objects from other countries to US? If so, what should I do, which shipping company should I go with? Thanks.

I would make sure they are Boxed or tubed with very hard card board.

But yes Fedex or UPS will ship it for you. go online and use the shipping rate calulators.

Hi,

Put your painting into a shallow box 105 cm x 105 cm, but across the diagonal, which is 150 cm ! (nearly...just tried out good old Pythagoras for the first time in years !!)

Cheers
