It is your responsibility as the buyer to make all shipping arrangements with a shipper of your choice. Third-party shippers handle all shipping, packing and handling, and we have outlined steps to make finding a shipper as easy as possible. If needed, Wright is happy to provide assistance to guide you thru the shipping process.
Below we have included a description of shipment methods along with a list of shippers that frequently work with our clients; these shippers understand the care and handling required for design objects and art. All third-party shippers listed are familiar with Wright and will provide you with an estimate for their services - before or after your purchase. If you are the successful bidder on a lot, you can contact any of them with the following information:
1. Buyer’s Name*
2. Auction Date
3. Lot number(s)
4. Ship-to address
5. Insured Value
* = This name MUST match the name on your Wright auction invoice. If you would like to release your items to another name, please fax a signed release letter to 312 235 4178.

Blanket Wrap Service
This service is best for medium to large furniture. Because they transport via ground service, it is available only within the contiguous United States. Blanket wrap shippers individually wrap your pieces to protect the surfaces during transport. They provide door-to-door service: scheduling a pick-up with us at the gallery and delivering it at your convenience. Cost varies and is determined by the size of your shipment and your location. Unless you have made alternate arrangements, payment for these shippers is cash on delivery (COD).
Packing/crating and freighting service
This service is best for small to medium sized items (both furniture and objects) and these shippers transport via both ground and air service so international delivery is available. The shipper professionally packs the items and arranges transport via freight service. These shippers also provide door-to-door service, though you are responsible for unpacking your purchase and often for the disposal of the crate once delivered. Cost varies and is determined by the size of your shipment and your location. Typically, payment for these services is required in advance. This is the only method available for international shipments and a proforma invoice stating the purchase price must be included with the shipment.
If you have any questions or want a list of additional shippers, feel free to contact Charles Meadows, the Director of Property and Transport, and he can assist you.
This is only a suggested list. Wright assumes no responsibility for acts and/or omissions executed by the vendors listed. Wright recommends that you insure your items while in transit. All works that are picked up, and not shipped out of state, will be subject to Illinois state sales tax.
