easy art handling for galleries

  • Convert out of town collectors into customers with fine art shipping. Shipist can provide rates for any size piece so it’s easy for you to quote shipping to your collectors.

  • We can pick up sold works from your gallery in Denver or Los Angeles to bring back to our shop for shipping. We can also deliver them directly to your collector within 100 miles.

  • Shipist can customize a rate sheet for you that covers shipping, pickup, and delivery. This makes it easy for you to know exactly what to quote to your collectors so you can close sales faster.

  • Make it easier for artists to send you their work. When a show is over, economically send any unsold works back to them.

Professionally packing a painting to be shipped from an art gallery.

What’s it cost to ship a painting?

Let’s say you are shipping a 24” x 36” painting. We have a perfect box that will fit around it for $19. Shipping FedEx to a house in NC from our shop in CO would be $50. You can pack it up yourself, or we’ll do it for you for ~$40.

That’s $109 Total

Compare that to $99.99 for a box and packing plus $80.33 for shipping when you go into a FedEx Store. That’s really expensive.

Prices as of 3/24/23. Prices subject to change without notice. Shipping cost assumes no extra surcharges or special services like signature required or insurance. Pickup from your gallery is additional.

Focus on curating, we’ll take care of logistics.

Los Angeles & Denver Art Handling

Shipist does pickups and deliveries in the Denver and Los Angeles area. Colorado and California galleries can bring art to our shop as well.

Pricing is a la carte. Use whichever of the services make sense for you and skip the ones that don’t.

Pricing = Shipping + Box/Crate + Packing Service + Pickup

Shipping costs vary by size and where it’s shipping to. But, it will be way less than going to the UPS or FedEx store.

We have a bunch of different boxes on hand to get your paintings delivered safe and sound plus we make custom crates. Packaging prices displayed include sales tax and unlimited cushioning. If you bring in your own box, you can save on this.

We can pack up your art for you and handle shipping if you want it to be totally hands off.

Out of room to keep paintings in your house? We can store them until they are ready to ship or be displayed.
