International Shipping to Japan

March 13, 2011 by admin

The devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on Friday is a disaster beyond all imagining. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people who have been caught up in this terrible event, which is being called the biggest catastrophe to hit the island nation since World War Two.

At this time, there is a great deal of uncertainty surrounding events on the ground in Japan. For that reason, many of the major carriers have temporarily suspended services in Eastern Japan. Shipments awaiting export have been similarly affected. Some carriers are still accepting shipments to be delivered into Eastern Japan once operations resume; check with your Boston packing and shipping company to see what options are available to you.

International Shipping Challenges

Obviously, no one can predict ahead of time events like earthquakes and tsunamis. Working with the best packaging and shipping company can help ensure that you have full insurance protection for your packages, as well as considerable tracking capabilities to keep track of your packages while en route. Bear in mind that even the best systems have limitations: your Boston pack and ship company is working closely with all carriers to find out the latest information as it becomes available.

In the aftermath of a disaster such as this, many customers will face challenges. Entire villages appear to have been lost; it is very probable that some shipments throughout the region may be gone as well. Insurance claims can be complex: working with a packaging and shipping company with documented expertise in properly preparing the documentation for international shipping is essential. If you have questions about what you need to do about a shipment that was lost in the Japanese earthquake, contact your shipping company. They can advise you about the next steps you need to take.

It may take many days, even weeks, for the full magnitude of the events in Japan to become clear. We will continue to keep you apprised of the situation as events develop further and more information becomes available.

"We called Boston Pack and Ship looking for someone who would ship four pieces of furniture, 12 picture boxes and two book boxes from Scituate, Massachusetts to Bellingham, Washington. The furniture included a sideboard, a dresser, a drop leaf table and a secretary desk. We knew that we didn't have enough for the usual moving company but these were things that our daughter wanted to have as they had belonged to her grandmother. Bill Yankee was most helpful. He arranged to have the items picked up and then they were then carefully packed before being shipped. Throughout, we were kept advised of the progress of the shipment and its arrival time. We felt that they took exceptional care with our belongings and were most conscientious - as well as courteous and helpful."

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
