How To Ship Your Treasures Home From Vacation

August 24, 2022 by admin

“Boston is an antique hunter’s paradise,” Gwendolyn said. “The shops are amazing, and I’m finding the type of furniture and collectibles that just never turn up back home in Arizona.” The retiree laughed. “My husband says I can’t buy more than we can reasonably pack into the car to go back home, but you know that’s not going to happen! What I want to know is what’s the best way to ship my treasures back home so nothing gets lost or damaged?”

Find the Best Pack and Ship Services Near Boston

When you’re shipping artwork, antiques, or other souvenirs from life’s adventures, it’s important that these items reach their destination without being damaged. Can you imagine how disappointing it would be to open a box anticipating a happy experience only to find broken pieces?

For this reason, only ship items in new cardboard shipping boxes. These are available at office supply stores, or, if you’re trying to save your vacation time for fun stuff, directly from the pack and ship service you use. The reason you want new cardboard shipping boxes instead of recycling boxes you may already have on hand is that new boxes are much stronger. New cardboard shipping boxes can resist heavy things being stacked on top of them better than used boxes.

Next, don’t be skimpy with your packing materials. Packing materials cushion, support, and most importantly, protect your items while they’re being shipped. Yes, Amazon sends you things with a only a few air pillows tossed in the box – but Amazon also can replace things that arrive damaged. That’s definitely not the case with unique artwork, antiques and collectibles, or other precious things that captured your heart while you were on vacation. Your local pack and ship service can hook you up with a full range of packing materials, including specialty products to protect extremely fragile or valuable items.

"I used Boston Pack & Ship to send an antique drop-leaf table that had been my mother's and four Windsor chairs that my father had made, an antique blanket chest and two large framed (with glass) photographs. I had no special instructions, but all the items had huge sentimental value - they were all special to me and were now being sent to our oldest son who had just bought his first home. So it was important that they arrive safely. Both Bill and Joe were very friendly, up front with the fees and service provided and the process went just as they described. I might not have thought any more about it, but when the furniture arrived, our son made a point of calling and saying how nice the movers had been and said that I should feel comfortable recommending them to anybody in need of their services."

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!
