Why We Choose Our Couriers: Delivering Your Art with Care

 

At The Artists Quarter, we know that when you invest in a piece of art, it’s more than just a purchase—it’s a meaningful addition to your home or collection.

We carefully select couriers who share our commitment to quality service, ensuring that your artwork arrives in perfect condition, no matter where it’s going.

 

Here’s why we trust FedEx, DX, APC, DPD, and Parcelforce for our deliveries—and why you’ll never see us use services like Yodel or Evri.

Why We Avoid Couriers Like Yodel and Evri

 

At The Artists Quarter, we know that choosing the right courier is crucial to delivering the best customer experience. That’s why we avoid using couriers like Yodel or Evri. Both services have received widespread criticism for inconsistent deliveries and poor handling, which doesn’t meet the standards we set for transporting valuable artwork.

 

Our Packaging and Protection

 

Alongside our choice of couriers, we also take extra care in packaging your art. Each piece is securely packed with reinforced edges and padding to ensure it arrives undamaged. From the moment it leaves us to the second it arrives at your doorstep, we track its journey to guarantee a seamless delivery experience.
