Packaging, Crating and Delivery

Prior to shipping we build a customized crate complete with a solid wood frame around each statue and a pallet below to ensure a safe, smooth, and seamless delivery! Inside the crate, the statue is padded using braces wrapped in bubble wrap, and other protective materials. The exterior of the wood frame is fitted with custom cut wood sheets that are affixed to the wood frame with screws for easy removal once your statue is delivered.

All statues weighing over 100 lbs. will be crated on a pallet of appropriate size and delivered with a lift-gate truck. Statues weighing approximately 100 lbs. or less will be safely packaged in quality materials and shipped via one of the major shipping service providers i.e. USPS, FedEx, or UPS.

Your statue will be picked up at our location in Colorado and shipped directly to your home or business. Please note that our shipping services include delivery only. Uncrating and placement of the statue at delivery location is the buyer's responsibility, but with years of experience we’re always happy to advise!

Communication

Once your sculpture is picked up from our warehouse, we email you the shipping company’s direct phone number as well as the online tracking information so that you can personally track the progress of your precious cargo every step of the way! Of course you can also contact us directly at any time if you have questions regarding your purchase.The shipping company will contact you once the statue is in route to its destination, in order to arrange a delivery window that works for you.
