“It was Bertrand Russell who told us we must care about a world we will never see,” Walter said with a chuckle. “And of course, one could interpret that to mean that it is imperative to be mindful of the impact our current actions will have on the future. But I also see it as an insightful comment on the value of care and diligence in the pack and ship service.”
Walter sells vintage, antique and collectible electronics. “Some things work, some things don’t,” he laughed. “You’d better believe my customers know what they’re getting.” Shipping electronics requires special care. In addition to strong shipping boxes and cushioning packing materials that protect the tech from drops, shocks, and moisture, Walter wants to work with experienced employees. “There are pack and ship services in some office supply stores,” he explained, “but I’ve found they really have a high turnover. This has led to some very bad experiences for me. Now I choose to work exclusively with a Boston packing and shipping company that doesn’t do anything but shipping. I don’t go there when I need ink for my printer, or an office chair, or sticky notes. I go there when I need expert level packing and shipping services.”
The basics of packing and shipping can be taught to anyone. That being said, when you’re shipping fragile, collectible, or expensive items and you want to be sure they arrive at their destination in good shape, it is a good idea to work with a professional Boston packing and shipping company. Electronics are particularly vulnerable to being damaged while being shipped. Foam in place technology represents a new gold standard in electronics shipping, as the protective styrofoam-like material completely encapsulates the tech, protecting it thoroughly. “Of course, you’ll want to talk about your shipping company about insurance,” Walter added. “That’s important too!”
