Shipping Packages Cross Country

April 20, 2021 by admin

“My Mom lives in San Diego, and I’m here in Boston,” Greg said. “We’re both quite fond of each other and we both love surprises, so we’re always sending each other packages. Nothing important or valuable, really – it’s just to put a smile on her face. It’s hard to travel right now. But I want Mom to know I’m thinking about her.”

That being said, over the years, Greg and his mother Dawn have had their share of shipping mishaps. “If you’re going to send anyone fudge,” Greg said with a laugh, “you want to be really sure to choose a speedy delivery service.” After one epic failure where a shipment spent 19 days stuck in a hot California delivery hub and arrived melted and spoiled, Greg decided to explore expedited cross country shipping options. “It’s a few dollars more, but it’s twice a year, for my Mom?” he explained. “To me, it’s worth it.”

Shipping larger packages from Boston to California was another time Greg appreciated the assistance of the best local packing and shipping company. “In the antique market, I found a chest of drawers that was just perfect for Mom’s front room. A little awkward, a little heavy, but it was such a deal, I couldn’t resist.” Shipping furniture cross country includes having custom wooden shipping crates built, arranging for the package to be delivered at a specific time so Dawn could have help on hand to bring it into her house, and insuring the package against damage or loss. “And I’m a little obsessive, so you know I was checking that tracking information from the moment I dropped the chest of drawers off at the shipping service until I knew Mom had it safely in her possession. It provided great peace of mind.”

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move a dining room hutch from my sister-in-law's house in Wellesley, Massachusetts to my apartment in New York City. The process was really quick and easy. I spoke with Bill Yankee on a Thursday, and I had my piece delivered the following Wednesday. My sister-in-law said the pick up on her side was quick and seamless. I was given a specific two-hour time frame and the movers were on time. They even helped reassemble part of the furniture. Throughout the process Bill was communicative and had great follow up. I didn't need to chase him down, and when I had a question, he was available or responded immediately."
