Boston: Shipping Tips To Save The Planet!

February 22, 2012 by admin

Did you know that the choices you make every day have the power to impact the health of the planet? By being mindful of the environmental impact of our behaviors, we can reduce the use of fossil fuels, encourage recycling, and do our part to help the planet heal.  If you need to send packages, ship antique furniture or other fragile items, organize a small residential move or small commercial move, or simply send products to your customers, your Boston shipping store can help you make the smart, planet-friendly choice.

Boston Shipping Tip: How Reducing Breakage Helps the Planet

Any time you have to ship a fragile item – whether it’s antique furniture, artwork, electronics and computers, office equipment, or the like – there’s always a concern about breakage.  If your item is damaged or even destroyed during the shipping process, you suffer disappointment and financial loss – but the planet takes a hit as well. Replacing the broken items takes natural resources and energy! If items don’t get broken, they don’t need to be replaced, which is good news for you and Mother Earth!

Your Boston Shipping store knows the best way to package fragile items for shipping.  They use environmentally friendly packing materials, custom crating, and their considerable expertise to ensure that the item you’re sending reaches the destination in one piece.   The focus on protecting your item and preventing breakage provides the highest level of satisfaction.

Boston Shipping Tip: The Small Move

Single people and small households that need to move are often faced with a dizzying and distressing range of options.  Trying to move yourself can burn up a lot of gas, time, and energy – not to  mention sore backs and aching muscles! Moving companies that require a minimum load size waste tremendous amounts of resources – and your money! Your Boston shipping store has no minimum load size for small moves, whether you’re headed across town or across the country.

"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 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!
