“After college, my friends and I all went in different directions,” Marissa said. “But it’s important that we stay in touch. Especially with COVID – while I’d really like to be able to go see everybody, I just can’t right now. So I’ve really, really gotten into mailing my friends packages.”
Marissa is an artist and takes a great deal of pleasure in creating unique gifts for her friends. “Whether it’s a painting or a textile piece, I want them to know it’s been made specifically for them. There’s a lot of thought and intention in what I do. It’s important for me that things arrive to their recipient in good condition.” A few mishaps convinced Marissa of the value of working with a Boston packing and shipping company. “They have the boxes, they have the packing materials, they get everything shipped for me – it’s fast and stress free.”
But Marissa wasn’t sure how the process would work when it came time to send gifts to her friends overseas. “Brexit made things really confusing,” she said. “And I had a lot of concerns about whether or not my packages would be robust enough to endure travelling over the Atlantic safely. So I went to my local shipping store and said do you handle international packages?”

The best Boston shipping store does in fact provide international shipping services. “Now, I don’t know if you’ve ever shipped anything to Europe before, but you can spend a lot of money,” Marissa explained. “I really appreciated how the Boston shipping store explained to me ways to keep the cost down.” By choosing the right size box and making strategic shipping choices, Marissa was able to cut her shipping costs nearly in half. “Who doesn’t love saving money? Boston Pack and Ship makes it easy for me to stay connected to my friends.”
