Shipping a painting

What are the options for shipping a painting from La Manzanilla (or Melaque or Manzanillo) to Oregon. Help, please!
Someone wants to buy one, they're leaving tomorrow for Oregon, and it might be too big for them to take on the plane.

Carol,
As someone who has transported alot of paintings....it probably is easiest to take the canvas off the frame and roll it into a cardboard tube. Then they can restretch it in Oregon. Yes, it costs money to restretch but probably no more than shipping.....and they can keep it with them.

Thanks, Joni, I agree with you - this person just was nervous about doing that.
Fortunately, a friend saw my inquiry, and will be driving up, and can take it with them!
Still, it's good to get all the different options - for next time. Joe Lusk told me he uses Estafeta all the time for shipping to the USA and Canada.
