Eastern MA Antique Collectors: The Top Three Things You Need To Know About Shipping Furniture and Collectibles

March 30, 2012 by admin

Village Antiques & Collectibles ShowThe season’s about to change.  The signs are everywhere.  The weather’s warmer; people are smiling more.  No, we’re not talking about the arrival of spring.  We’re talking about ANTIQUE SEASON.  This is the special time of year when collectors emerge from their houses (and eBay connection!) to take up the hunt in person.  Special treasures are to be found everywhere, from road side shops, garage sales, and swap meets.

Finding the treasures is only half the battle. You still have to get your goodies home.  We talked to your Massachusetts shipping specialist about what you need to know when you’re shipping antique furniture and collectibles.

Tip One: Use the Right Size Box or Crate

Whether you’re shipping a wonderful wingback chair or a collection of crystal candlesticks, it’s essential to use the right size box.  Boxes and crates that are too small mean your package won’t be accepted by freight carriers. Boxes and crates that are too large allow your items to shift position during shipping, increasing the chances of breakage and damage.  Your Eastern MA shipping store uses custom crating to protect antique furniture and collectibles.  This involves a specially designed and built box or wooden crate of the perfect size to ship your item safely.

Tip Two: Pick the Best Packing Materials

To prevent breakage while in transit, it’s essential to use the best packing materials.  Forget about newspapers or wadded up grocery bags – these items provide next to no cushioning for your antique furniture and collectibles.  Your Eastern MA shipping specialist stocks a variety of high quality packing materials to provide your antiques with the ultimate in protection.   Foam in place technology uses a specially designed expanding foam to create a protective shell around your antiques and collectibles to keep them safe.

Tip Three: Be Smart About Insurance

Insurance coverage to protect your investment is a great idea.  Your Eastern MA shipping store can help you select the right type and amount of coverage so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re shipping your antique furniture and collectibles.

" I recently sent a shipment of some furniture, dishes and lots of books from one coast to another. The service I got from Boston Pack and Ship was outstanding from start to finish. The goods were packed well on time and then were delivered in perfect condition at the other end. I was very impressed with the quality of packing, no damage, not even a dented carton. I have had to move things many times, and this is without doubt the best experience I have ever had."
