Anyone able to provide any advice or recommendations for art shippers for an artwork from Miami to the U.K?

The auction house has provided two quotes which are both over a $1,000 to ship the tray framed canvas. It’s already packed and ready to ship so the quote does feel excessive. Dimensions are circa 125x95x13 cm and value for insurance is sub £2k. 

I did see the recent thread on shipping from New York and have already reached out to The Packengers and United Shipping & Packaging and they unfortunately don’t cover Miami. I have asked them to provide a quote to ship from New York as it’s a potential option and additional price comparison. Ideally looking for a reliable and sensibly priced shipper from the Miami area.

I used Flight logistics when I bought my Rodeo Girl.

They arranged the pick up in the states, supplied the correct documentation and codes for the artwork )for the lower rate of import duty) and delivery, it was about £125 with a declared value of 10k, I paid extra for insurance (2% of value).

Yours is a lot bigger obviously but I can’t see it being more than £500, worth a try.
If you’d like the email address of the guy I’ve used a couple of times, drop me a pm and I’ll send it to you.
Cheers, John

I have used Arrow Packing and Shipping within the US, but I know they ship to the UK and will pickup in Miami.
