Shipping fine art, luxury goods, high-value collectibles, watches, jewelry, handbags, graded cards, manuscripts, and rare objects is one of the highest-risk activities in the entire collectibles industry. Most losses occur not from bad luck—but from avoidable mistakes that insurance companies quietly use to deny claims.
This Master Guide reveals the exact systems used by museums, auction houses, elite dealers, and fine-art couriers to prevent breakage, theft, tampering, moisture damage, compression damage, misdeclared-value seizures, insurance claim denials, and fraud. These are the rules insiders follow—but almost no shipping guide or eBay handbook ever explains.
Inside, you’ll learn how experts:

Declare value correctly (FMV vs declared value) to prevent denied claims, customs seizures, or legal liability
Choose the correct carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx, white-glove couriers) based on item category, risk profile, and shipping limits
Package fine art, fragile collectibles, jewelry, watches, handbags, and documents using museum-grade materials and conservation-safe method
Prevent loss, breakage, vibration damage, ink rub, scuffing, moisture intrusion, and corner impac
Document chain of custody like an auction house—protecting authenticity, provenance, and claim validity
Navigate international shipping, customs forms, HS codes, and seizure-avoidance rule
