How the CK Art Services Online Booking and Quote System Works

Updated

CK Art Services provides an online booking and quoting system that lets you enter your artwork information and receive an immediate quote, without needing to call first. According to the company's website, the same online form covers storage, transportation, and its other art services, and a free quick quote option is available. If you prefer to speak to someone, you can also reach the team by phone, email, or social media.

What the online system actually does

The site describes an "Online Art Services Booking System" built around a single action: you enter details about your artwork, and the system returns an immediate quote. The site presents this as the starting point for every service it lists, rather than a separate enquiry form per service.

The services covered by the online quote flow are:

  • Art storage — the site's headline service, described as end-to-end storage for private individuals and industry professionals
  • Transportation — with a free quote available by entering your details online
  • Artwork rental — artworks offered for rental to both businesses and individuals
  • Insurance — arranged through what the site describes as a leading national specialist art insurer
  • Specialist art packing — offered once your artwork is in the company's facility, for onward transportation

How to get a quote

  1. Go to the CK Art Services website and locate the online quote or booking entry point.
  2. Enter your artwork information as prompted. The site does not specify exactly which fields are required, so be ready with basic details about the work and what you need done with it.
  3. Submit the form. The stated result is an immediate quote, and the site also offers a free quick quote option.
  4. If the quote suits your needs, proceed with the booking; if you have questions first, use the contact details below.

The key expectation to set: this is a quote-first process. You are not booking a fixed appointment slot before knowing the cost — the quote comes back to you based on the information you supply.

When the online route may not be enough

The online system is designed for an immediate quote, but some situations are easier to resolve by talking to a person:

  • Unusual or high-value works where condition, size, or fragility affects handling and pricing
  • Combined services — for example, storage plus onward transportation plus packing — where you want the sequence and responsibilities confirmed in conversation
  • Insurance questions, since the site only states that cover is offered through a specialist art insurer and does not detail terms online

For these, the site lists direct contact options: phone on +61 3 9014 8420, email, or social media. The business address is Level 8, 350 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000.

What the site does not tell you

The website does not publish pricing figures, payment methods, or login requirements for the booking system. Treat the online quote as the way to find out cost rather than expecting a published rate card. It also does not state whether an account is needed, so assume you may be asked to provide contact details as part of the quote request.

A practical way to decide

If you want a fast indication of cost for storage, transport, or packing, start with the online quote — it is the site's primary route and is described as immediate and free. If your requirement is complex, involves insurance, or combines several services, submit the online request and then follow up by phone or email to confirm the details. The company notes over 17 years of combined experience across its team, and works with both private individuals and industry professionals, so either path is within its stated scope.
