Life Should Be an Adventure. Moving Your Stuff Shouldn’t Be

July 16, 2015 by admin

Okay, we’ll admit it. We read this HuffPo article about a young family living a nomadic expat lifestyle and we turned a little green with envy. Well, not absolutely green. Not emerald green. Maybe a little chartreuse around the ear lobes – after all, who doesn’t want to have globe trotting kids and romantic evenings in Rome and all that stuff? Adventure is wonderful – but the logistics of adventure aren’t always nearly as much fun.

The key to making the adventurous lifestyle work is to secure the services of an experienced pack and ship company that is very familiar with international shipping. That way, when you want to move your family from Boston to Bogota, you don’t need to develop an extensive skill set to make sure your possessions arrive safely and in good condition.  Everything – including the sometimes very confusing customs paperwork! – is done for you.

The nomadic lifestyle doesn’t lend itself to acquiring numerous possessions, but let’s be real: along the way, you’re going to find items that you fall in love with, that you just can’t live without. These irreplaceable items need special care when being shipped. Look for a Boston pack and ship company that offers custom crating. Wooden shipping crates are the gold standard for protecting antique furniture, artwork, and other fragile items.

It’s especially important that any items that are traveling overseas via a container ship are especially well packaged: rough seas can cause the contents of containers to shift, sometimes violently. A sturdy custom built wooden shipping crate can be your possessions best line of defense against damage.

When the details of moving your household around the globe are covered by the pros, enjoying the nomadic lifestyle becomes much easier. As the author points out, the cost of living internationally can be much, much cheaper than it is here in the US. So you’ll be able to invest in superior international shipping services without feeling any financial pinch!

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move 35 boxes and 5 other items from Quincy, MA to Columbus, OH. Nothing required any real special handling, just the usual stuff, some of which was fragile. The shipment and delivery was seamless. The initial pick up was great, the guys came when they said they would. The delivery date was to be between three and six weeks and it was three weeks on the dot—maybe even a day earlier. The whole process was so efficient and I was kept informed all along the way as to timing of the delivery. First several days before and then again the day before along with a four-hour window of time. Although I haven't had the opportunity to recommend Boston Pack and Ship, I would certainly do so without hesitation!"

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!
