The information detailed below will assist you in the final step of your purchase: getting the piece safely and efficiently to you. Although Wright does not provide any packing, handling or shipping service directly, we will make the shipping process as easy as possible.
Below is a description of shipment methods and a list of shippers that frequently work with our clients; they understand the care and handling required for designed objects and art. After you complete your purchase, you can contact any of them with your invoice number and in turn, they will contact us for details about your purchase and to schedule a pickup. Any shipper can provide estimates for your shipment — before or after your purchase — so that you will be aware of the expected costs.
BLANKET WRAP SHIPPING SERVICE
This service is best for medium to large furniture. Because they transport via ground service, it is available only within the contiguous United States. Blanket wrap shippers individually wrap your pieces to protect the surfaces during transport. They provide door-to-door service: scheduling a pick-up with us at the gallery and delivering it at your convenience. Cost varies and is determined by the size of your shipment and your location. Unless you have made alternate arrangements, payment for these shippers is cash on delivery (COD).
PACKING/CRATING AND FREIGHTING SERVICE
This service is best for small to medium sized items (both furniture and objects) and these shippers transport via both ground and air service so international delivery is available. The shipper professionally packs the items and arranges transport via freight service. These shippers also provide door-to-door service, though you are responsible for unpacking your purchase and often for the disposal of the crate once delivered. Cost varies and is determined by the size of your shipment and your location. Typically, payment for these services is required in advance. This is the only method available for international shipments and a proforma invoice stating the purchase price must be included with the shipment.
If you have any questions or want a list of additional shippers, feel free to contact Charles Meadows, the Director of Property and Transport, and he can assist you.
