Highly impressed at every step of the process. Flawless scheduling, billing, pickup, and delivery. I shipped a 6' wooden sculpture from coast to coast.

The service is reliable and the art has always been handled carefully and has been well protected at all times. I have complete confidence in them from pickup to delivery and they are friendly and easy to work with as well.

They showed up on time.  I watched them like a hawk.  They were prompt, curteous, and efficient.  They were responsive and very comforting.  They showed me how these paintings "floated in the box."   They were so patient and polite with explaining everything to me.  My sister received the packages and she was so happy with the job the company did.

My father moved across country and left us with his apartment to clear.  We threw everything in boxes and took it to Rick at Craters and Freighters. They meticulously wrapped all the pictures, double packed the computer and accessories and palletized the whole thing in a few days. Rick then arranged to have the pallet shipped from the Washington DC area to San Francisco, which took less than a week.  All the goods arrived in perfect condition. We could not be more pleased.

We shipped a large china cabinet from here to Illinois using Craters & Freighters, contact information below. The job involved moving the cabinet from the 2nd floor of our house to the C&F warehouse, crating it (including packing in Styrofoam), shipping, delivering, and uncrating and placing it in the house in Illinois. The cabinet is heavy (100+ pounds) and has large areas of curved glass that are fragile and very expensive to replace. C&F did a terrific job. Rick Davies, our contact, was very helpful and informative, dealing with our many questions and modifications of the job easily. The guys who picked up the cabinet were very considerate and helpful, and did a superb job of getting it into the truck and securing it there. Our cousin in Illinois tells us that the piece arrived in perfect condition. All in all, this was a wonderful experience.
