Art Shipping Testimonials
Navis CN1005
Hi Jennifer,
I meant to write earlier -- but what with preparing for my show, and then going down to New York, I've been very preoccupied. But I did want to let you know how much I appreciated my experience with you and Navis, from the initial phone call to the delivery of the shipment. After going through hell's half-acre just trying to find a freight company that would handle artwork, everyone I dealt with at Navis was friendly and helpful on the phone, responsive and prompt through email, and generally made the planning stages of the shipment a breeze. Your delivery-men showed up exactly when they said they would, were professional and respectful with my shipment (which is no small thing when we're talking about original artworks). The crates (and, needless to say, the paintings inside) arrived in perfect condition at the gallery, in exactly the time that was quoted to me.
So I wanted to let you and everyone in your office that I was extremely pleased with the service at Navis. I will absolutely recommend you to any of my artist friends who need shippers, and you can rest assured that I will definitely be using your services for any future art shipping that I might need to do.
Thank you so much,
Sholem

"Hi Dane,
Just a quick email to thank you for everything you have done for us. For me personally, I would have to say that you have taken all of our worries away when it comes to shipping fine art. Before Navis Packaging arrived in Ottawa, I can recall how disruptive it was each and every time we had to ship a painting. Both my assistant and myself had to wait until we found some "down time" before we would haul out the piece or pieces that required shipping...
But honestly Dane, you folks have been a Godsend for our little gallery... now we just have to pick up the phone and you arrive at the gallery to pick up the artwork and wrap it professionally at your place. Aside from having everything packed professionally, I always know that you will be taking care of every little detail, from insurance to customs documentation and clearance. The time we save in not having to pack each piece ourselves, to say nothing about the money we save on materials, is truly wonderful.
The best though, is when I get calls from clients all over the globe, telling me how well packed everything was when it arrived, and then they joke about how long it took to unpack because of your attention to detail... this is most gratifying, because the final impression reflects on us!!
Also, I sincerely want to thank you for your on-going professionalism, as you always seem to be there to follow up with my clients personally, and then you show me the courtesy of a follow up call to let me know that everything arrived safely and the clients are thrilled. This follow up leaves me with the feeling that you are taking a personal interest in our small business, and that my friend, is extremely rare these days...
So kudos to you!!
Please feel free to use my name as a reference any time... you have earned my loyalty."
Sincerely,
Joel Pleet

"Our shipment arrived yesterday and I just want to thank you for a job well
done!"
Your staff and yourself handled our request to collect an Egyptian limestone
head from a client, pack it and ship it to New York all within a very few days.
The job was professionally and efficiently accomplished.
The head was very well packed and I would not hesitate to use and recommend your
services in the future."

"Thank you for shipping our artwork so carefully. I felt like a kid at
Christmas... it took me 45 minutes to open the box. In my 20 years in the art
business, I have never seen anything so well packed."

"I just received the Patti Bannister framed print that we left with you before
the ice storm. We are in sunny Sarasota and the Bannister arrived in prime
condition! Stephanie is SO excited to see it in her room. "
Please tell your expert packers that they made one (not so) little girl very
happy."

"I am writing this letter to express my thanks to you and your staff for the
wonderful job you did crating, packing and shipping our scultpures to The
Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. You were the utmost in professional the
way you explained step-by-step the shipping procedures and followed up and
answered all my questions. I felt assured that our sculpture was in good hands."
