Free shipping offers a significant benefit for Customer, particularly even for small to medium-sized framed artwork, such as a 28" by 28" piece, which necessitates a crate due to its dimensions. Carriers classify any item exceeding 30" by 30" as oversized, leading to increased shipping costs borne by the seller. These expenses typically include the crate, packaging materials, transportation fees charged by the carrier, insurance, as well as all customs duties and taxes. On average, the total cost for door-to-door delivery of small to medium items ranges from $250 to $350, potentially reaching up to $450 to $900 for larger items, geographically far away locations and high rate of applicable taxes.
