Choosing a Crating Company in Boston

September 29, 2015 by admin

“Unfortunately, one of our residents passed away unexpectedly. He was here for school, having come to Boston from Indiana.” Tom is a property manager, responsible for over 200 apartment units. “His family is obviously traumatized, so we’re working with them as much as we can to make this difficult situation easier.”

Tom did not anticipate that shipping the young man’s possessions to Indiana would be challenging, but that’s before he truly understood what the young man had owned. “This was a very active young man. He had lots of sports equipment, including a very high end mountain bike, multiple snowboards, and a windsurfing board. He also had a motorcycle. You can’t just throw this stuff in a box and call UPS. You need a Boston crating company to safely pack these items for you.”

There are many types of shipping crates. “If you look at some of these crates for yourself – which I strongly recommend,” Tom said, “you can see there’s definitely a range of quality available. Because of the high value of these items and the sentimental aspect of this situation, I needed to be sure I had robust shipping crates that would truly protect everything.”

Each freight company has its own unique requirements regarding what type of items need to be crated. Motorcycle crates and wooden shipping crates need to be built to a specific size and quality standard. “You’re not going to be able to get this kind of service from the office superstore,” Tom said. “They say they do shipping, but a job of this scale is out of their league. You need a professional shipping company, preferably a Boston crating company.”

Packing and shipping the young’s man possessions was a big job, but Tom discovered the time he spent finding the best Boston shipping company was well worth it. “His parents sent me a thank you letter expressing how grateful they were to have their son’s things returned to them. I’m glad we were able to do that for them.”

"I got a job in France and I had to organize my move there. Boston Pack and Ship took care of shipping my belongings. They picked up everything at my house, packed the furniture so it would not be affected during the travel and shipped it to Marseille, France. From the very beginning, Boston Pack and Ship addressed my concerns and answered my questions. They even gave me the information of the company they work with in Marseille so I could contact them directly, have an estimate on how much it will cost once in Marseille and how to proceed for custom/pick up. Boston Pack and Ship was always available to me, even once the shipment was on the boat and everything arrived in perfect shape! "
