Try to ship the prints without glass in the frames.  UPS will not accept
glass framed pictures anyway.  Perhaps you might consider plexiglass
(plastic) instead of real glass when you must ship fully framed prints. I've
sent one famed/glass print via fedex ground, very well packed with a box
packed inside another box and the glass did not survive the trip.

Maybe you could also send custom matted prints without frames in a
"standard" frame size and have a local (to the gallery) framer put them in
the standard frames with glass and deliver them to the gallery.
