Boston Simplify Your Life: Finding A Pack and Ship Company

April 7, 2011 by admin

Are you planning your first move? Whether you’re headed off to college, relocating for a new job, or starting life with your sweetheart, it doesn’t take long to discover that small moves can result in big headaches.

What is a Small Move?

Students, young families, and elders who live alone may not have as much furniture, artwork, household possessions, television and stereo equipment, computer gear, and musical instruments as larger families do.  For this reason, some moving companies don’t want their business…or if they do, they’ll charge you minimum load size charges that mean you’re paying for truck space and services you don’t need and won’t use!

Making Life Simple For Yourself

To make life simple for yourself, you’ll want to find a moving company that specializes in small moves. These companies know that even if you don’t have a lot of stuff to move, the stuff you do have matters! To make sure your technology, china dishes, grandfather clocks, and similar items arrive safely and in once piece, work with an expert packing and shipping company.

There’s a best way to pack everything, and they know what it is. Don’t trust your precious items to chain shipping stores that just throw everything into a cardboard box and stuff packing peanuts in at random! Customized crating solutions include specially sized boxes built exactly for your items. Foam supports cushion and cradle your items against all shocks – if something is knocked, dropped, or kicked around while in transit, the contents remain safe and secure!

Long Distance Small Moves

Moving a small household a long distance, such as cross country moving or overseas moving, presents some special challenges. On the one hand, you’ve got the great experience of starting life in a new destination and building fresh connections. On the other, you’ve got the logistics of moving all of your stuff through unfamiliar territory. Let your small move specialist handle your long distance small move and you can concentrate on the fun part of moving!

"In August, my 83-year-old father fell down the cellar stairs and broke his elbow. Following elbow replacement surgery in Boston he was transferred to skilled nursing care in West Bridgewater. Unfortunately, the injury left him unable to maintain his own household. My husband and I made the decision to move him to our home in California. My time frame was incredibly short - 11 days till departure via airplane to CA. I needed to pack and ship whatever items would be going to CA. We would not be moving the entire household - just several paintings, memorabilia, clothing and a large full keyboard electronic piano. After calling several moving companies that required large weight minimums to bid the job, I was referred to Joe Fell at Boston Pack and Ship.

Joe was absolutely wonderful. He calmly explained the shipping options available through Boston Pack and Ship and they could definitely handle the job. Joe helped me locate appropriately sized shipping boxes so that I could pack things up myself, thereby saving money. He also stayed in constant contact with me via phone and email, coaching me through the shipping process. We scheduled pickup nine days after my arrival in MA. Joe became an instant friend to me throughout this extremely stressful time. His caring nature made this difficult move a great deal easier. I am very grateful to have found this wonderful company. "

I used Boston Pack and Ship to pick up, pack, and ship an Italian lounge chair from Boston to San Francisco. Excellent communication all along the way. They did an outstanding job packing the chair, it arrived in perfect condition. Couldn't be happier with the support from Gene and the team.

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!
