The owner had 4x paintings shipped to them by FedEx from the USA.

An impulse buy I didn't anticipate the amount of space they would consume and now need them gone. I have 3 sturdy cardboard boxes going if anyone wants them (as well as the polystyrene that kept the paintings safe during transit/storage)

If you are moving home at some stage and want to make sure your paintings are transported safely then these could be useful to you?

Alternatively, if you have paintings that you want to store, these would make a superb and safe receptacle for your art.

Please call or text 0274312203  if interested - need gone ASAP.

Pickup is from Paddington Street, Glen Innes. Thanks Leitu
