Super-Fast Service
Both Clars and the shipper they recommended, Handle With Care Packaging Store, exceeded expecatations by a wide margin. The shipper responded immediately to my request with a quote well in line with my expectations, and the they and Clars combined efforts to have the painting at my door one week after the auction.
