Boston Pack and Ship creates International Student Division

December 4, 2008 by admin

No need to cram for summer sessions…Boston Pack and Ship creates international student division to aid students between semesters, after graduation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT:  Steve Dubin, PR Works, (781) 582-1061, sdubin@prworkzone.com

DATELINE:  BRAINTREE, MA… As an international college student living in greater Boston, you face challenges the local undergrad or grad student doesn’t, particularly if you have to be out of your dorm or apartment by semester’s end. Then, you face the dilemma of what to do with your personal belongings over the summer. Boston Pack and Ship, small load packing and shipping specialists for the past two decades, created an International Students division just to accommodate the special needs of foreign students.

Boston Pack and Ship offers temporary storage space in a secure, climate-controlled facility, conveniently located in Braintree, Mass. While other storage facilities charge you a flat rate for a specific size storage room, Boston Pack and Ship only charges for the space you use. So, you’re not renting an 8-foot by 10-foot space if what you’re storing only requires half that.

“Moving in and out of a city apartment or dorm room is tough enough, never mind having to deal your stuff every year because you don’t know what to do with it between school years,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship. “Our new International Student division is specially tailored to accommodate the needs of the international students. That can range from providing temporary storage space to shipping your personal belongings and other small load items either back home overseas or to your next stop after graduation.”

Boston Pack and Ship specializes in shipments of less than 1,000 pounds—parameters that can cover a lot of different items. For students shipping fragile items like computer monitors, stereo equipment and other pieces, Boston Pack and Ship uses foam-in-place technology as well as customized packages and crates to minimize movement and dramatically reduce the possibility of damage during shipping.

“When it comes to moving, international students have very specific needs and that’s why we created this special division,” said Fell. “If by offering temporary storage and our small load shipping capabilities can make easier what can be an incredibly stressful process—managing your stuff between two residences in two separate countries—we’re happy to provide the service.”

Boston Pack and Ship offers multiple U.S. shipping options including ground, air, delivery to a terminal for pickup or inside delivery. International options include air or ocean with door-to-door or door-to-port delivery. Full declared value is available on both domestic and international shipments. Pick-up of items to be packed and shipped for delivery is made by appointment.

"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. "
