For galleries, providing transparent and complete pricing – including transport costs – has become essential for enhancing the buying experience for their collectors. Often, collectors hesitate to purchase artworks because, while they know the price of the piece, they lack clarity about additional costs such as shipping and ancillary transport fees. Depending on the destination, the dimensions and value of the artwork amongst other factors, these costs can be significant and lead to unpleasant surprises after the purchase.

Moviiu addresses this challenge with an all-in-one solution that enables galleries to seamlessly integrate instant, reliable transport quotes into their pricing. With Moviiu, galleries can offer total cost transparency, creating a smoother and more trustworthy purchasing process for their clients.

Instant Quotes for Full Cost Transparency

Moviiu’s intuitive platform features an instant quote tool that allows galleries to calculate transport costs in under one minute. By entering basic details such as the pickup and delivery addresses and the artwork’s dimensions, galleries receive a detailed quotation that includes:

• Secure & custom-made Moviiu transport packaging
• Door-to-door delivery of the artwork
• Export handling
• Customer service
• Shipment tracking

The calculated transport price covers all incurred costs, ensuring full transparency in the art transport process. Additionally, the quoting tool offers an optional transport insurance that can be added at a rate of 1% of the artwork’s value (minimum €35). Import charges, however, are not included, as they depend on the specific customs duties of the destination country and are billed directly by our transport partners before delivery.

Once the quote is generated, it can be effortlessly shared with clients via a link. Buyers receive a clear breakdown of the total costs for acquiring the artwork and can book the transport directly through the integrated online payment function.

A Time-Saving Solution for Galleries

Moviiu simplifies and centralizes the entire logistics process by bringing together pricing calculation, packaging, and transportation on a single platform. This not only saves galleries valuable time in creating quotes but also enables them to efficiently organize the entire art transportation process from one place. Through a personal Moviiu account, galleries can manage, retrieve, book, and easily control the entire transportation process.

With Moviiu as a reliable partner for seamless logistics, galleries can optimize their costs, increase transparency for their customers, and fully focus on their core business again.
