RugMark will ensure that Faces of Freedom photographs are packaged for pick up and delivery in custom art crates. Crates provided are to be used solely for shipping Faces of Freedom photographs and all images must be properly wrapped before crating for return shipping to RugMark.
RugMark has prepared the following set of recommendations to help you prevent damage during shipment or photo use.
- Borrower may select shipping company and method at their discretion but must ensure that delivery tracking and confirmation is included. To answer shipping questions about weight and dimensions please estimate that an empty crate is approximately 65 lbs. and every image is approximately 5 lbs. The exact dimensions of the crate are 24.38”(H) x 14.75”(W) x 34.48”(L). RugMark requires that written confirmation of delivery be provided via fax or email.
