Shipping information

Packing

Articles are packed safely in a box or in wooden crates. Free packing service is provided as a token of thanks when packing in boxes. For wooden crates, there is a basic charge of HK$500 depending on the size. Packing can also be done by professional packing agents like Michelle Int'l Transportation and Sun Ming Transportation Co. Ltd.. Clinets are most welcome to make their own arrangements.

Shipping

Article(s) can be sent by air or sea. For most antique pieces, it is better to have them sent with a courier service (Federal Express) for efficient delivery. For a large volume or heavy pieces, shipping can be done by sea and you can choose either Door-to-Port or Door-to-door service. Shipping Door-to-port is the cheapest method, but you will need to send the documents to a local agent who can clear and deliver your articles at a reasonble charge. For exceptionally fragile, delicate or valuable article(s), it is more advantageous and efficient to send them by professional agents with a door-to-door service.
