Packing
  • Before shipping we inspect your art to make sure it is in perfect condition. We then pack your artwork with the utmost care to help ensure it arrives in excellent condition.
  • Small prints and posters weighing less than 1 lb. including packaging are sent flat so that we may ship it First Class.
  • In most cases small prints are carefully inserted into corner protectors so that they don't shift during shipping. They are then sandwiched between boards to ensure a sturdy package.
  • Quantities of more than one are packed together. Please carefully remove artwork from the corner protectors to view them all.
  • Please check all packing materials and boards before discarding.
  • Large Prints/Posters are packed rolled in a protective paper and then inserted into sturdy tubes. End caps are inserted and then sealed.
Unpacking Your Art
  • Artwork is very delicate and can crease if mishandled. Please unwrap and handle with extreme care.
  • Hands should be washed with soap before handling artwork. Even clean fingers have oils in them that can leave marks on the artwork.
  • It is always best to frame your artwork as soon as possible. Until then please repack your artwork carefully so as to protect it.

  • In the unlikely event that an item arrives damaged please inspect packing materials carefully and e-mail Big Busy Bee Art within 3 days of receipt.
  • It is very important to save all packing materials including wrapping, box, envelope or tube. Insurance cannot be claimed unless these items are in your possession.
