Finding the Best International Shipping Company in Boston

June 8, 2018 by admin

Whether you’re in eCommerce or traditional retail, the time may come when you need to shop packages to customers who live outside of the United States. International shipping is more complicated than many people realize. You can’t just address the package and call for UPS pickup. There’s more involved, particularly if you want your customers to receive their purchases in good shape in a reasonable amount of time. In our quest to be the best international shipping company in Boston, we want to share the following tips:

International Shipping: Does it make sense to ship this item overseas?

International shipping is much more expensive than domestic shipping. Before you commit to shipping internationally, you need to be clear what the costs are and if it makes sense for your customer to order it from you, rather than sourcing the item locally. Shipping costs are determined by a combination of factors, including the size and weight of your items as well as the method of transport and destination. If you’re having difficulty determining if shipping an order internationally makes sense, give us a call. We’ve been helping Boston businesses ship packages for 30 years, and can help you accurately and quickly determine the real costs.

International Shipping Rules and Regulations: What you need to know

Every country sets its own rules and regulations about what items can be shipped in, and how those items must be packaged, documented, and delivered. If your shipment doesn’t comply with the rules and regulations, it’s not making it into the country – and that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting your items back. Avoid hassle, headache and expense by knowing the relevant shipping rules and regulations that pertain to your customer’s country. again, if you need help with this, give us a call. We’re here to help!

"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. "
