As a museum in the Los Angeles area, we are fortunate to have several art shippers to choose from for our shipping as well as crating needs. While many may find the number of options as a blessing, it can also be difficult -- how does one choose from such a wide pool of companies? Who will securely transport the artwork? Who can work with our tight schedule?

In my twelve years as a collections manager, I have been extremely pleased with the services provided by L.A. Packing. Across the board, they have displayed the utmost professionalism and courtesy when taking care of our shipping and crating needs. Their staff is more than accommodating, often conducting independent research on local artists; such attention to detail has translated to safe packing and transport of the artwork. Their drivers have always handled the artwork with extreme care and are more than helpful when transporting the work into our storage areas/galleries. And I only use L.A. Packing for our crating needs for I am assured that our artwork will be properly secured and sealed during transit.

Ultimately, when choosing an art shipper, my overarching concern centers around the safety of the artwork on hand. And L.A. Packing always comes through.

In my years working with art collections in Los Angeles, I have found LA Packing to be one of the best at packing and crating. They are also excellent at communicating and organizing shipments and offer competitive quotes. Their facility is well managed and the viewing gallery is clean and well lit- especially helpful for on-site condition reports or presentations.

I have been a client of L.A. Packing and Crating for many years. My husband, Scott Grieger, and I have our artworks stored there, some very large ones, as well as some small delicate ones, and we know that they are clean and dry and that they are in good condition. And we are confident that L.A. Packing knows where they are, and can send them far away or deliver them locally in a timely way, and that they will arrive in perfect condition.
