Reliable shipping for fragile and valuable items

Need assistance moving and shipping fragile items long distance? Whether you need antique shipping, estate distribution assistance, grandfather clock moving, piano shipping, or help transporting other fragile items, our logistics specialists will create a customized plan that’s right for you.

If you have a fragile item you need transported, call us M-F 9am-6pm ET, live chat with us, or submit an online quote form and our logistics specialists will get your quote started. Please have your pickup and drop off zip codes and item dimensions ready and we’ll put together a personalized plan. A TSI logistics specialist will be your personal point of contact through booking, then an operations specialist will take over to schedule your pickup, monitor progress, and answer any questions throughout the process.

We offer two service options for shipping fragile items

BLANKET WRAPPING
Our blanket wrap moving service uses special moving blankets to cover your item and keep it safe from scratches. This option is ideal for less ornate items without glass or other easily-breakable pieces.

CRATING
For high-end pieces and particularly delicate items, we recommend crating. Crating is the safest, most secure packing method, and it also meets antique shipping insurance guidelines for high-value items. If you need help crating your fragile items, we can have a specialist build a custom crate at your residence.

For especially fragile, valuable, and sentimental items, we strongly recommend that you purchase additional insurance to cover the full value of your items against the possibility of loss or damage.

Shipping fragile items safely

Pianos

High-value pianos like grands and baby grands will travel on climate controlled trucks with other pianos. Smaller pianos also need special care, and are usually blanket wrapped or crated. Contact one of our shipping experts so they can recommend the right fragile shipping service for you.

Estate distributions

Distributing an estate is complicated. Our logistics specialists will create a customized distribution plan for your estate items, including coordinating a single pickup with delivery to multiple destinations so your precious family heirlooms can make it to their new homes.

Grandfather clocks

Grandfather clocks are often fragile heirlooms and sentimental pieces. Our specialists will almost always recommend onsite crating to ensure safe transport, and we can help you pack your clocks delicate internal components as well.
