Artworks are often sent either by air or by surface transport. Some of the main criteria for determining the means of transportation are; distance between the collection and delivery addresses, the nature of the artwork, time concerns and budget allocated to shipment. The various modes of transportation come with their own advantages and disadvantages. These pros and cons should be considered before choosing a specific shipment method. For instance; while air freight is definitely the quickest and least complicated for long distance transportation, repeated handling is a risk factor to bear in mind. Land freight, on the other hand, requires less handling and offers better control of the freight. And yet, it brings other concerns with regards to the vehicle type, safety and security measures and the route to be followed.

Since the various modes of shipment poses different challenges; crating, insurance and security issues are handled after the means of transportation is determined.
