Does any one have any advice or experience on sending artwork back home?

We're living in Geoje-Do, and wanting to send 12 - 15 paintings back to NZ. They're canvases of varying sizes - between 30x30cm and 1mx50cm, and would probably weight about 25 - 30kg in total.

Any details would be highly appreciated!

Thanks for that. Just to clarify, it's actually artwork that my boyfriend has created.

If you're feeling mildly curious, check out www.suite.co.nz His name is Arie Hellendoorn

Interesting Artwork. I have an appreciation for Art especially since it receives no sales taxes on exports or imports across nations. My best professional source on obtaining actual packing and crating materials for air-freight would be in Canada:

Jeremy Weimer
Assiniboia Gallery

Regina, Saskatchewan

Canada

He may be able to put you in contact with his framing agency in Vancouver who could possibly send you empty packing materials via air-freight if the Korean agent is too expensive. That way you can do cost comparisons in Korea, New Zealand and Canada.
