Massachusetts Small Business Spotlight: Controlling Packaging Expenses

November 27, 2012 by admin

As 2012 draws to a close, many small business owners throughout Massachusetts are looking at their financials and identifying ways to save money and enhance profitability. Cost containment is a high priority, which raises a question about packaging. Should you try to handle packing and shipping your merchandise in house, or is it a wiser decision to outsource the job to a Massachusetts packaging store?

For businesses that don’t do a lot of shipping in the course of daily business, working with a Massachusetts packaging service on those occasions they do need to ship items is just good sense. Large, cumbersome, and often delicate items like computers and office equipment are difficult to ship properly. You need specialized shipping materials, custom crates, and the skill set central to packaging everything for safe shipment. These things don’t just magically appear in your office supply cabinet. If you don’t have them, you need to get them – often paying far more than you need to, when you compare comparable supplies and services at your Massachusetts packaging store.

Working with a professional package service also reduces the risk of items being damaged or broken during shipment. Comprehensive insurance and tracking options minimize shipments being lost or misrouted. Many people don’t realize that today’s freight carriers have extensive paperwork requirements to accompany items being shipped. Mistakes in the paperwork cause problems with the shipment! Working with a professional Massachusetts packaging company eliminates the mistakes and delays.

If your company does a fair amount of shipping, it becomes a good idea to do a cost analysis to see if the smart business decision is handling the shipping in house or working with a Massachusetts packaging company. When you factor in the wages, taxes, and benefits of a full or part time employee, running an in-house shipping department can be an expensive proposition. You have other choices.

"I got a job in France and I had to organize my move there. Boston Pack and Ship took care of shipping my belongings. They picked up everything at my house, packed the furniture so it would not be affected during the travel and shipped it to Marseille, France. From the very beginning, Boston Pack and Ship addressed my concerns and answered my questions. They even gave me the information of the company they work with in Marseille so I could contact them directly, have an estimate on how much it will cost once in Marseille and how to proceed for custom/pick up. Boston Pack and Ship was always available to me, even once the shipment was on the boat and everything arrived in perfect shape! "
