Domestic Logistics

Regional and nationwide fine art logistics for exhibitions, fairs, private moves, and institutions.

Discuss Domestic Logistics

Route architecture

Distance changes the plan, not the standard of care.

Domestic logistics connect route timing, packing, vehicle, crew, access, receiving, documentation, storage, installation, fairs, exhibitions, and returns.

Aiston supports local, regional, and long-distance projects by request for galleries, collectors, advisors, designers, estates, fairs, museums, institutions, and auction-related movement. Service scope and availability depend on the specific route and artwork.

Local

New York City and Long Island

Building access, short receiving windows, loading rules, multi-stop routes, storage releases, and installation timing often define the work.

Regional

Tri-state and Northeast

Route order, packing, appointments, distance, crew time, return planning, and connected services are reviewed together.

Long distance

Nationwide by project

Dedicated or coordinated routing, overnight considerations, packing, handoffs, destination agents, and receiving requirements shape scope.

Project planner

Build the route from fixed commitments.

01

Appointments

Collection windows, fair or exhibition schedules, dock rules, recipient availability, and installation dates.

02

Artwork

Dimensions, quantity, medium, packing, condition concerns, orientation, separation, and equipment.

03

Access

Stairs, elevators, loading, parking, certificates, site protection, restricted hours, and local contacts.

04

After delivery

Placement, installation, crate storage, sold-work delivery, return shipping, storage, or documentation.

Exhibitions and fairs

Plan the exit before move-in.

Fair and exhibition work compresses collection, packing, transport, access, installation, empty-crate decisions, deinstallation, sold-work delivery, storage, and returns into a narrow schedule.

  1. Confirm move-in, dock, labor, booth, and certificate requirements.
  2. Connect the packing plan to installation and deinstallation.
  3. Separate sold, returning, stored, and onward-shipping works.
  4. Confirm recipients, return routes, and documentation before close.

Route questions

Choose the route around the work

Does Aiston offer nationwide service everywhere?

Long-distance service is reviewed by project, route, timing, artwork, packing, crew, vehicle, and partner requirements. Submit the specific origin and destination for assessment.

Can a domestic project include several services?

Yes. Packing, storage, viewing, transport, installation, fair support, documentation, and return movement can be coordinated when included in scope.

What is the difference between domestic logistics and hot shot service?

Domestic logistics covers broader regional and national coordination. Hot shot service is a dedicated, time-critical option reviewed for direct routing and compressed deadlines.

Aiston reviews the artwork, locations, access, schedule, and connected services before confirming scope. A quote request is not a booking or an automatic price.
