Shipping Paintings to Mitch Rossow
If you are not in the Minneapolis Metro area, you can ship them to me. I do not travel to photograph paintings. My studio is configured exclusively for photographing artwork. The setup is complicated and engineered for precision alignment. Also, the entire studio is monochrome to prevent color reflections.
- It is my experience that UPS is the best shipper, they handle the packages carefully and deliver them to me most responsibly.
- Get 2 shipping labels. One for sending it to me and a return label. Include the return label in the package. Once the artwork is photographed, I will remove the original shipping labels and apply the return label then drop it off at the UPS Store.
- Tell me in advance how many pieces and their sizes, I will send you an invoice so that you can include payment in the package as well.
- Schedule with me before you ship so I know when it is coming.
- Send me the tracking number.
- Pack you artwork securely. Damage in shipping is your or the shipper’s responsibility.
- For internal packing, be aware that I need to repack your paintings. Foam pieces, foam core and cardboard are preferred.
- Don’t use gaff tape, duct tape, packaging tape or other aggressive tapes. I prefer blue masking tape or something similar because if the tape comes in contact with the artwork it won’t damage it. Here’s the best way to transport paintings.
