Disassemble your sculpture, if possible. Take apart all bolted or pinned pieces, as vibrations during shipment can cause them to come loose. Label each part of the sculpture to make sure it is reassembled properly. Wrap small breakable pieces in cushioning material.
Contact a trusted shipping company to estimate the cost of shipping your sculpture. Ask the company if it will package the sculpture or if you will be required to package it. Ask the shipping company if it provides insurance for the value of the sculpture; if not, you will need to purchase your own insurance to cover your loses in case of damage. Schedule the sculpture to be picked up.
Purchase a wooden shipping crate and wooden supports, if you will be required to package the sculpture on your own. You can purchase a shipping crate from a local shipping store or from an online store. Measure the sculpture to ensure you order the correct size.
Remove the lid of the crate. Place the sculpture on the crate's base. Screw the wooden supports around the sculpture to prevent it from shifting during transport. Place foam material or cushioning wrap between the sculpture and the supports to prevent scratching or damage. Schedule the sculpture to be picked up and shipped. Your total shipping cost will depend on the combined weight of the sculpture and crate, as well as the distance it must be shipped.
