Eastern MA: Custom Shipping Solutions for Small Business

April 28, 2011 by admin

“Every lamp I create is one of a kind.” Sahra Z. creates stunning stained glass artwork in her Eastern MA home. Her studio is filled with lamps, windows, picture frames, and keepsake boxes – all crafted from fragile glass. “If this lamp doesn’t make it to the customer safely, that’s it – it’s gone! It’s a disaster. I can’t just pick another one of the shelf and replace it.”

Shipping her wares has been a big challenge for Sahra.  “Until I started regularly shipping fragile items, I never knew how roughly packages were handled.  Now I’ve seen pictures of boxes that were dropped, crushed – even kicked!”

Eastern MA: Shipping Fragile Items

“If I could give one piece of advice to other business owners/artists like me, it would be this. Don’t try to pack and ship your items yourself.  Find a company that specializes in shipping artwork. They have all the right packing materials and they know how to protect your merchandise.” Sahra’s lamps are now shipping in custom built crates, using the latest foam in place technology.  “This foam is actually formed around the lamp, like a soft, protective shell. Everything’s cradled and secure from the moment it reaches the shop until the customer receives it.”

Since Sahra started using a professional packing and shipping company to send her artwork to her customers, she’s had no reports of broken or damaged lamps. “That’s great news, because you never want to disappoint a customer. You just don’t.”  The ability to ship lamps and other artwork safely has opened up new sales avenues for Sahra as well. “There are juried shows I’ve considered participating in, but they’re all really far from here. And I don’t have a large car, so I didn’t know how I’d transport all of my inventory.”  Shipping larger pieces directly to the show site provides this small business owner with the flexibility she needs to grow her business.  “Sometimes you have to be willing to do things a little differently,” she said. “And if that’s what it takes to get me in front of more customers? So be it!”

"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. "

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!
