Guys, I need some quick info/advice.
Here's a bit of background: we have 7 paintings on consignment in a Houston Gallery. We've had a falling out with the owner, I won't go into that sordid mess. He's left it up to us to get the paintings out of his gallery by the end of next week, and actually stated this morning he would no longer cover them for insurance purposes retroactively back to June 19th. After protesting he's covering them through Monday.
What I need is a Houston area shipper that can go to the gallery and pick up the paintings, take pictures to document condition, and pack and ship them back to us (in Colorado) on rather short notice. Can anybody help with a company name in Houston? It's difficult for us to do anything from here in Colorado, especially on such short notice. I'm hoping one of the ARFCOM family in the Houston area might be able to help.
The paintings in question are worth quite a bit in total (6 figures) and represent my wife and my life savings at this point. We've burned up most of our liquid assets because I've been out of work almost 2 years, so these are very important to us. I'm a little concerned with this guy going ballistic on us.
I hate to air this personal problem, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Thanks.
