Air Freight
International art & design transport requires expertise and deep industry knowledge of global supply chains. Convelio offers air freight services to take care of the entire shipping process from booking to overseas customs clearance and last mile delivery.
Air cargo is an efficient mode of transport, while also safeguarding fragile and large pieces during transit. Convelio provide the utmost care and attention to all shipments and pledge a high-level of security for artworks.
For an enhanced experience and complete peace of mind, add white glove delivery and expert installation to your booking.
Sea Freight
If speed of delivery is not essential, or items exceed the parameters for air cargo, then shipping by sea is an economical alternative to air freight.
With sea freight, artworks are placed in protective temperature-controlled containers for the duration of the journey. You can also select a full (FCL) or partial (LCL) container load, depending on your requirements.
Whether sending large volumes or a single shipment, Convelio’s logistics capacity is optimized to safely transport artworks around the world.
Delivery Services
Estimates on DesignMiami.com include curbside delivery. If you’re interested in white glove service, please contact a Design Specialist for a custom quote.
Curbside Delivery
Curbside delivery provides expert delivery of your shipment direct to your door, at a specific date and time.
With curbside delivery, design works are carefully unloaded at the destination in preparation for unpacking and installation. This is the final stage of the shipping journey and ensures items arrive safely, at the right time.
Curbside delivery can be booked from anywhere in the world and is supported by Convelio’s global network of logistics partners. It is flexible, economic and secure, providing clients with a trusted method for transporting valuable artworks.
White Glove Delivery
White glove delivery offers superior service fulfilled by fine art and design technicians who specialize in handling delicate and complex shipments.
With Convelio’s white glove service, items are carefully removed from the delivery vehicle and transported into the room of your choice. Technicians then skillfully unpack your item, ensuring fragile pieces are handled with the utmost care and attention.
Finally, the wood crate and packing materials are collected and removed from the site. For shipments that require special attention to detail and expert handling, white glove delivery ticks all the right boxes.
Please contact a Design Specialist if you’re interested in White Glove service on your order.
Insurance
All estimates provided on DesignMiami.com include insurance cover through Convelio, unless otherwise requested.
Exceptional objects and high-value artworks deserve premium protection while in transit. This is why Convelio offers optional art transport insurance for all shipments.
Convelio’s ad valorem insurance blends seamlessly with our full suite of logistics services and provides an extra layer of protection for sensitive shipments.
As part of our insurance offering, we take care of the entire claims process to secure favorable results for our clients. The ad valorem insurance covers all modes of transport (air, sea and road), so your shipment is protected – no matter which freight option you choose.
Our insurance rates are calculated in relation to the value of the items, with a ceiling of €500.000 per claim.
Customs Clearance
Customs clearance is the act of taking goods through the customs authority of a country. It’s a necessary part of the international shipping process and provides documented permission to enable a shipment to be imported or exported.
Most goods can’t be moved internationally without customs clearance. The purchase and sale of works of art and design are also subject to taxation, such as VAT and customs duties and capital gains tax. This can add layers of complexity to the transportation of fine art and design.
Convelio takes care of all your customs formalities as part of the customs clearance administration service. This service is included at no additional cost in your quotation, and is a reflection of Convelio’s unwavering commitment to provide you with a seamless shipping experience.
