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!

"I got a job in France and I had to organize my move there. Boston Pack and Ship took care of shipping my belongings. They picked up everything at my house, packed the furniture so it would not be affected during the travel and shipped it to Marseille, France. From the very beginning, Boston Pack and Ship addressed my concerns and answered my questions. They even gave me the information of the company they work with in Marseille so I could contact them directly, have an estimate on how much it will cost once in Marseille and how to proceed for custom/pick up. Boston Pack and Ship was always available to me, even once the shipment was on the boat and everything arrived in perfect shape! "
