Holiday Head’s Up: Choosing a Boston Shipping Company for International Gifts

October 27, 2014 by admin

“Sometimes I laugh when I hear people ask “Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?” Elaine, who lives in Boston, has four children. Two live in Europe, one’s currently working in Northern Africa, and her youngest lives in Australia.”I’ve got to get all of my kids’ – and my grandkids’! presents shipped now if I want them to be there in time for Christmas morning.”

Shipping packages internationally requires two things: a slightly longer time frame and expert assistance from an international shipping company. “You wouldn’t believe how rough it is for boxes and parcels,” Elaine explained. “I tried everything – double boxing, wooden shipping crates – and there would still be damage. It wasn’t until I started working with the pros as Boston Pack and Ship that that problem disappeared.”

Why is working with a professional Boston shipping company the smart way to ship your holiday gifts? Better shipping boxes is one answer: Boston Pack and Ship uses the strongest available cardboard shipping cartons. For larger gifts, they custom build wooden shipping crates. The result? They also offer a full range of the best packing materials. You don’t have to settle for foam peanuts or air bags: foam in place technology offers the ultimate in protection for fragile items, electronics and more.

“A big part of shipping gifts internationally is the paperwork and insurance,” Elaine explained. “Every country has its own set of regulations and requirements. I can’t keep track of them all, but my Boston shipping company can. They help me make sure all of the forms are filled out correctly, that the addresses are where they should be, and that no vital information is left off the paperwork.” Incomplete or incorrect paperwork is one of the major reasons international shipments can be lost or delayed – not what you want to have happen when there are grandchildren waiting for presents!

"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. "
