"PACK & SEND Peckham provides specialist fine art shipping services for artists, galleries, collectors, auction buyers, creative businesses and institutions across Peckham, Southwark and wider South East London.
Whether you are shipping a framed painting, sculpture, print, photography, exhibition piece or complete collection, the team can help arrange professional packing, collection, crating and delivery throughout the UK and internationally.
| PACK & SEND Peckham provides specialist art shipping services for artists, galleries, collectors, auction buyers, studios and creative businesses across South East London. Whether you are sending a framed painting to a collector, moving sculptures to an exhibition or arranging international delivery for a gallery sale, the service can be tailored around the artwork, destination and timescale. Peckham and the surrounding South London creative corridor have a strong community of artists, studios, galleries, designers and independent makers. That makes professional art logistics especially important for customers who need more than a standard courier service. Typical shipments include original paintings, framed artwork, limited edition prints, photography, sculpture, mixed-media work, exhibition materials, installations and collectable pieces. Each shipment can be assessed for size, fragility, value and handling requirements before the most appropriate packing and transport option is recommended. Whether the artwork is travelling locally across London, nationally within the UK or internationally, PACK & SEND Peckham can help coordinate collection, packing, shipping and delivery. |

| Art exhibitions require more than simple transport. Timing, handling, packing, venue access, documentation and return logistics all need to be managed carefully, especially when artworks are fragile, valuable or required for a fixed installation date. PACK & SEND Peckham can support galleries, artist studios, curators, creative agencies and educational institutions with exhibition logistics throughout London, the UK and internationally. This can include collection from studios, packing of individual pieces, transport to galleries or event spaces, delivery scheduling and return shipment after an exhibition. The service is suitable for gallery exhibitions, art fairs, degree shows, pop-up exhibitions, corporate displays, touring collections and private view events. For international exhibitions, support may include export paperwork, customs documentation and guidance on temporary export requirements. By positioning the Peckham page around gallery logistics and exhibition support, the content speaks directly to the area’s creative economy rather than relying only on generic art courier language. |

| PACK & SEND Peckham can assist buyers who have purchased artwork, prints, sculptures or collectables from auction houses and need a reliable collection and delivery solution. Auction purchases often need specialist handling because the item may be fragile, valuable, framed, glazed, unusually shaped or located far from the buyer. Collection can often be arranged from auction houses, galleries, private sellers and dealers before the item is professionally packed and shipped to the final destination. This is useful for private collectors, interior designers, dealers and international buyers purchasing from UK salesrooms. Services can include auction collection, condition-sensitive packing, custom crating where required, UK delivery, international shipping and customs documentation support for overseas buyers. From a single framed print to a collection of artworks, PACK & SEND Peckham can help simplify auction logistics for customers who need more than a standard parcel courier. |

| Correct packing is one of the most important factors in safe art shipping. Paintings, frames, glass, canvases, sculptures and installations can all be vulnerable to impact, vibration, pressure and poor handling if they are not prepared correctly for transport. PACK & SEND Peckham can provide specialist packing for artwork based on the item’s size, material, fragility, value and destination. Packing methods may include protective wrapping, corner protection, foam cushioning, reinforced cartons, export packing and bespoke timber crating. Custom crates can be useful for high-value, oversized or fragile artworks, especially when shipping internationally or through freight networks. For framed works, protection may focus on the frame, glazing, corners and surface stability. For sculptures, the packing may need to support unusual shapes, protruding elements or fragile bases. Whether you are an artist shipping work to a buyer or a gallery moving exhibition pieces, specialist packing helps reduce the risk of avoidable damage during transit. |

| International art shipping can involve customs documentation, export paperwork, destination rules, item descriptions and sometimes temporary export arrangements. These details are especially important when artwork is travelling for exhibitions, fairs, gallery sales or return journeys. PACK & SEND Peckham can help customers prepare artwork for international delivery and understand the documentation required before the shipment is dispatched. Depending on the destination and purpose, this may include customs forms, commercial invoices, packing lists or temporary export guidance. Common destinations include Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East and Asia. Shipping options may vary based on urgency, size, value and whether the artwork is being sent permanently or temporarily. For artists, galleries and collectors, this support helps reduce the stress of moving artwork across borders. |
