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!

"Working in support services for a large law firm, I consistently turn to Boston Pack and Ship for assistance in moving heavy equipment to our satellite offices, both in the U.S. and overseas. The shipments arrive in excellent condition, in a timely manner and are delivered professionally. Whenever we ship a large quantity of files to other offices, the most cost-effective method is to give them to Boston Pack and Ship and let them handle it. Without Boston Pack & ship backing me up, my job would be close to impossible."

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!
