I’ve shipped a lot of artwork (of varying value) and this is how I’ve done it without a problem. If it has glass use painters tape and cross hatch across the glass (if the glass breaks that decreases the possibility that it will go all over and or dig into the artwork). Cut a piece of cardboard the size of the frame. Put it on top and wrap really well w shrink wrap. (If there’s a void between the glass and cardboard then layer bubble wrap to fill the void) Then cut pool noodles and slide onto the all four sides of the frame. I then wrap heavily w bubble wrap and then slide into a box. (The wrapped canvas prints - haven’t shipped those but guessing you could wrap the canvas first in stretch wrap then cardboard then another stretch wrap to hold cardboard in place. That would create a layer so if the cardboard shifted it wouldn’t damage the wrapped canvas), follow w pool noodles and bubble wrap. I’m sure there’s other ways but I’ve had no problem w the above practices. The first few will take some time but once you get the hang of it it’s pretty easy. Good luck!
I work as a custom picture framer and this is correct way to ship - also if you can - put the art in a bag then cardboard front. for stretched canvas cardboard the front and the back. If in a bag you can tape cardboard in place because tape will stick to bag not art. Cling wrap all 4 sides, wrap in bubble and box it. The pool noodles are a good idea.
Also, i recommend that you Do not go FedEx, go UPS instead. I have recieved framed art at minimum 4 times literally run over by the FedEx truck, actual tire marks across the box. I refuse to use FedEx for that reason.
I've shipped several paintings of various sizes and shapes. Can confirm. This guy packs. *Instead of the mass quantities of bubble wrap, I light bubble, make cardboard or bubble corners, then pack the heck out of it in multiple layers of cardboard. This is on larger art usually. Auction Professor has an old video of it. The box usually looks ugly, but it's sturdy as heck. (Don't use his fill method. The overall concept is sound, but the implementation is kinda trash, lol.) His title is: How To Safely Ship Big Picture Frames & Mirrors Complete With Glass
No Tracking: we had just the opposite a few months back. 21 scans showing the package bounced back and forth between 2 sorting centers before leaving our state. Many “lost” packages seem to arrive right after processing the refund. We have a Mount Vernon a couple hours north of us, here in Washington state. So, I suspect many states have towns named after President Washington’s home.
2:05 Mount Vernon is George Washington’s estate (former plantation) close to Washington DC on the other side of the Potomac. I’m guessing it was this Mt Vernon because of the cherry tree association with G.W.
i have sold quite a few of the bike carriers but mine were all the hitch style and i sold them on Cl. instead of ebay. I thought they were going to be a hard sale but they sold faster than the other stuff on the pallet that i thought would sell first so i started just sourcing them out and i can find them clearanced out usually at least once a year here
Maybe check with the ups store, just to see about packing artwork, probably going to be going ups anyway due to the size, just a thought, we just got a ups store here finally (I mean I am not in the middle of nowhere,,, but you can see it from here, lol). So I haven't really checked into any pricing, just dropped there. Just thought it might be a good place to start, and if you pay to have it done there once, might give you idea/hints to where you can do it yourself.
Glass half full optimist. I’m a realist and say if you have half a glass, it’s too much and someone is going to come along and find a way to take sone.
One thing about canvas printed unframed...find styrofoam and fill the back to give it a a sold base...Wrap and then cardboard top and bottom. then into a box with almost no extra space around the the canvas.
Got had by the shipping manifest scan, F those usps employees they love when they do not have to work, make them scan every package and get that receipt. Save any future headaches ✌🏻💚🙏🏻

I agree. I was just going to mention that painter tape in a big X across the glass

"Worst of humanity packed in a church." Hmmmm, I feel there's a life lesson there.😉
The auction professor on youtube has a great video on shipping framed art… super simple and I’ve done it a few times and it worked
