Here's the fun part where you get to choose who gets to break your art! What fun!

| The Mail |

Company	Notes


Canada Post	They will break your stuff They will break your friend's stuff They will break your neighbour's stuff They don't take crates*
	* But if you cover the crate in cardboard they will still take it! Fuck them do it! they will probably still break it though

UPS	Fine enough, but they will still break your stuff FedEx is cheaper

FedEx	It is worth a shot when you're broke, and your art will look the same when it is crushed These guys break stuff like no one else! We're talking demolished! I once had a tube show up at a client's place with burn marks... Get insurance

| Do It Yourself |

Option	Notes


Communauto	Pay a monthly fee and have access to a car you can drive yourself Getting groceries is easier with this than any other option You can rent a Kia Rio hatchback with them for cheap You need to make small art for this You can write it off on your taxes

Uhaul	You already know about this It is in the name

Borrow a Car	Think. Who do you know with "have a car" money? You must know someone in the trades right? Maybe someone in film?

These are your best options, but they are costly. If you're between gigs, there are more realistic options. Sometimes, you can get the gallery to pay for it. But only sometimes. There will be more on these options on the next page.
