Can’t Fly With Your Gift Items? Boston International Shipping Service saves the day!

December 12, 2015 by admin

Hoverboards are the most recent toy to be banned from flying on several major passenger airlines. The popular toy contains lithium batteries, which have been identified as a causal element in more than a few fires; the airlines, acting out of a sense of caution for their aircraft, passengers, and crew, have opted out of transporting them. This leaves people who were thinking about flying with one as a holiday gift in a sudden quandry: how are you going to get this gift to your recipient on time, particularly if they live in a different country?

Boston’s most expert international shipping service is your answer. Boston Pack and Ship has been helping holiday packages get to their destination for decades. Shipping complex items while remaining in compliance with freight carrier and international regulations is their specialty. You can trust them to provide the rigid shipping box or custom shipping crates you need, as well as the individually selected packing materials to provide maximum protection. Insurance, custom and declaration paperwork is handled expertly, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your gift will get where you want it to.

Flying with gifts on the plane is a pain. Holiday travel is full of set back, delays, and lost luggage. Have you seen the way suitcases are tossed into the belly of a jet liner? Your fragile gift items may not survive the journey – and there’s no guarantee they won’t be shipped to Laos while you go to London. Make the holidays fun and simple for yourself by working with the Boston international shipping company that knows how to do the job right.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected'. I can't thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."

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!
