MA Freight Shipping for Small Manufacturers and Businesses

August 26, 2016 by admin

“We’ve been in business for a while now, but until this point, all of our orders were on the smaller side.” Steven is beaming. The founder and CEO of a small manufacturing firm recently received their first order from a major retailer – an order so large he needed to work with a freight shipping carrier.

Once upon a time, freight shipping meant your products were going to be loaded on a cargo ship. Today however, freight shipping can involve truck and aircraft transport. Choosing what type of freight shipping is right for your business depends on where your shipment needs to go – if you’re sending products from Boston to Europe, a truck won’t take you too far and you’ll have to opt for a ship or air freight. Speed is another consideration, as is budget. Air freight is the fastest, but it is also the most expensive option.

Successful freight shipping begins with proper packing. Your products or merchandise must be packaged in a way that protects them from the rigors of shipping while also presenting them in an attractive way for your customers. If your packaging has stood up well to smaller-scale distribution, talk to your MA freight shipping company about what steps will be needed to scale up effectively. The choice of shipping boxes for freight shipping is especially important: if there was ever a time you need truly sturdy, strong shipping boxes, it’s when they’re going to be shipped freight.

Talk to your MA freight shipper about your timeline. We’re used to an on-demand, instant gratification world, but freight shipping goes at its own pace. Every effort is made to make timely deliveries, but delays do happen. Whenever possible, scheduling to account for unforeseen events is a good idea. Freight tracking options have expanded exponentially and take a lot of anxiety out of the process – you know where your cargo is all the time!

" I recently sent a shipment of some furniture, dishes and lots of books from one coast to another. The service I got from Boston Pack and Ship was outstanding from start to finish. The goods were packed well on time and then were delivered in perfect condition at the other end. I was very impressed with the quality of packing, no damage, not even a dented carton. I have had to move things many times, and this is without doubt the best experience I have ever had."

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
