I have just won five large, heavy art books that are still sitting at an auction house in Manhattan. Before FedEx arrives for pickup, they must be boxed professionally so they travel safely. What I need you to do • Visit the auction house at the agreed-upon time. • Bring a strong, double-wall cardboard box, plenty of bubble wrap, and clean packing paper—those materials are not available on-site. • Wrap each volume individually, adding extra protection along the edges while keeping the spines perfectly supported and upright. • Cushion any remaining gaps, seal the carton securely, write the FedEx shipping label I provide, and leave the box with the front desk for courier collection. • Snap a few quick photos of the packing stages and the sealed carton so I have a visual record. Key handling note: keep every spine perfectly intact; no bending or stacking that could stress the bindings. You must already live or work in Manhattan so the quick in-person visit is convenient. The whole task should take no more than an hour once you arrive, so please quote for a single visit including materials. I’ll supply the contact name at the auction house and the FedEx label as soon as we confirm.

Hello, I am a freelance photographer and I have packed up many photo/art (heavy) books. I can source all the packing materials and text you photos of the whole packing process. I have availability next week, April 20th, to go and get this done. I will need to know the size and (approx) weight of each book. Cheers, Dag

Hi there, I am based in the New York City area and can complete this Manhattan pickup and professional packing task quickly, carefully, and on schedule. I understand these are large, heavy art books that require museum-level handling, especially protecting the spines, bindings, and corners during transit. For your project, I will arrive at the auction house at the agreed time with all required materials, including a strong double-wall shipping box, premium bubble wrap, clean packing paper, cushioning fill, and heavy-duty packing tape. Each book will be individually wrapped and supported upright with extra edge protection to prevent shifting, bending, or spine stress. After securely packing the carton, I will seal it properly, attach or write the FedEx label you provide, and leave the package with the front desk ready for courier collection. I will also take clear photos during the packing process and of the final sealed carton so you have a complete visual record. I understand this is a one-visit assignment and can complete everything efficiently within about an hour onsite. My quote will include labor, travel, and packing materials with no hidden costs. I am ready to coordinate immediately once you share the auction house contact details and preferred timing. Best regards, Jacob
