Hello everyone,

After years of working with various regional shipping companies for exhibit and artifact shipment (and with wildly varied results), I'm starting a fresh list. Is anyone able to recommend and vouch for exhibit shipping companies with offices in the Southeast with familiarity with, sensitivity to, and (if necessary) the ability to wrap and pack collection materials? So far, USArt is the only entry on my list, and I'd like to explore more.

I appreciate any recommendations!

Thank you,
