Eastern MA: Sending Packages to Military Personnel Stationed Overseas

December 7, 2011 by admin

M*A*S*H fans around the world are saddened today, as news that Harry Morgan has passed away at the age of 96.  Morgan played Col. Sherman Potter, who did his best to balance military wisdom with kindness while running the 4077.  M*A*S*H was set in Korea, but today our military personnel are stationed all around the world.   If you need to ship packages to military personnel stationed overseas, keep the following tips in mind:

Addressing Accuracy Matters! When you’re shipping packages to military personnel, it is essential to have their complete address. Military addresses look different than those you are accustomed to. Rather than including city and state information, military addresses use APO or FPO designations to make sure the mail goes where it is supposed to.  If you’re not sure of how to address your packages to military personnel, talk to the team at your Eastern MA shipping store.  We handle thousands of these packages, and we’ll make sure yours is addressed properly!

Breakable Items Require Special Packing: If you’re planning on sending your soldier an iPad, laptop, cell phone, or other delicate electronic equipment, you want to make sure that these items are packaged especially well. The journey from the civilian world to the military one can be perilous.  You need electronics to be cushioned against shocks, knocks, drops, electrical shock, and moisture.  Your Eastern MA shipping store has custom packaging solutions that provide the ultimate in protection. Foam in place technology utilizes a special expanding foam that forms in place around your electronic item. Fabulous choice for shipping electronic items.

Give Yourself Enough Time: The holidays are approaching fast. You don’t want your soldier to miss special events, such as birthdays or anniversaries.  With this in mind, ship your packages to military personnel as early as you can.  Your Eastern MA shipping specialist can fill you in on specific deadlines for target dates. Holiday volume slows shipping services down, even though they make every effort to move quickly.

"Boston Pack and Ship shipped my mother’s cedar “hope” chest to my sister in Flagstaff, Arizona. The chest is 70 years old and a priceless family heirloom. As for Boston Pack and Ship’s handling of the chest, in the words of my sister, the job turned out ‘magnificently’. The delivery was ahead of projected schedule and the chest was packed with great care with exceptional “product safety” initiatives of Styrofoam, plastic, false bottoms cartons within the crate and above the crate; the legs of the chest were taped with great care…….truly product protection at its best!! Both my sister and I would refer Boston Pack and Ship without hesitation as the price, product safety, delivery and service are exceptional."
