International Shipping from Massachusetts: How to Save Money

June 17, 2019 by admin

“My daughter is spending a semester abroad,” Brandi said, “And she misses some of the comfort food you just can’t get over there. Nothing fancy – just mac and cheese, a few things like that. So I put a box together for her – only to discover that shipping it would cost 10 times more than what I paid for the groceries. What am I doing wrong?”

Shipping packages internationally can be expensive. Working with an expert Boston packing and shipping company can help you save money – and ensure that your package gets to its intended recipient quickly and in good condition. Here’s what you need to know:

Size does matter! Smaller packages are more affordable to ship overseas than larger ones. Your local Boston shipping store can show you different size boxes and what you’d reasonably expect to send them to your intended destination.

There’s an art to fitting a lot of stuff into a small box. Your Boston packing and shipping store will work with you to maximize the amount of things you can safely send in a single package. Bear in mind that international shipping can involve its fair share of knocks, drops, bumps and shocks – that’s why it’s important to use strong cardboard shipping boxes and the best packing materials available.

There’s also a significant amount of paperwork involved in international shipping. Your Boston pack and ship store will work with you to make sure all documentation is completed correctly – a single missing answer or incorrect information can result in your package being delayed or lost, so devoting time to this part of the process makes sense. They can also help you secure the appropriate insurance coverage for your package, so you’re protected in case of accident or misadventure. Comprehensive tracking services are now available as well, which means you can keep an eye on your shipment from the point it leaves Boston to when it arrives at its intended destination.
