Packing & Shipping Instructions
Where: Ship the painting insured to:
 
Virginia Art Conservation and Restoration, LLC
Attn: Mark Wittl
7181 Bent Mountain Road
Roanoke, VA  24018

After shipping, send an email to us so we may be on the lookout for the painting.

Suggested packing: Do NOT ship the frame, unless it too is having work done to it.  The painting should be removed from the frame (frames are very susceptible to breakage in shipping), sandwiched between two very heavy pieces of cardboard, wrapped in bubble wrap and then placed in a suitable box and further packed all around with a cushioning material.  If the painting might stick to the cardboard, place a sheet of mylar between the face of the painting  and the cardboard.
Suggested Shipping Method: Priority mail from the U.S. Postal service has proven to be very reliable.  As information, I have had far less damage occur with the U.S. Postal Service than I have with UPS shipments.
