Best postage companies to send to Holland?, by desmond on Dec 16, 2017 18:59:24 GMT 1, Hi what companies do people use when sending large items or paintings abroad? For example Holland? Costs? For a 100cm by 100cm painting with insurance of a £2000 painting. Thanks any advice would be great.

I would imagine a large painting would need some very secure packing if it is on stretched canvas.

Absolutely no way would it cost £60 if packaged correctly...just as cheap to drive over there yourself and save cash on the packaging !

Thought 60 quid was a very low price.

£60 is very cheap for something large and well framed...seems too good to be true mate, hence my reply.

My experience is the local office works fine when using UK or US -> Holland. Fact being that all the risk is during transit. The service you chose wont make the difference imo, just try to get it as shockproof as possible.
I only sended and received prints in sturdy tubes from US/UK to Holland so far using either USPS UPS or RoyalMail & upgrade to their priority services. Most use air traffic transfer but it being a fairely large outer box their rates could scare you. UPS has always been nice to me btw.
