Social Distancing’s Here to Stay: Here’s How to Get Really Good at Shipping Packages

July 14, 2020 by admin

“Normally, I’d be driving to Upstate New York for my nephew’s birthday. My sister throws a big party every year, it’s a thing. But with things are how they are?” Caitlyn shrugged. “These presents are going to have to show up without me.”

Tips for Sending Packages to Children

The number one priority when sending any gift items to children is ensuring that the gift arrives in good condition. While kids’ toys are often built for rough handling, the fact is that being dropped, knocked, or exposed to the elements during shipping can damage them.

“I’m sending my nephew a Kindle tablet. He loves to read and I want to encourage that,” Caitlyn said. “And some stuffed animals and LEGOs and a few other odds and ends. I didn’t know if I should box everything individually and then rebox the whole thing, or if the boxes the toys came in were okay inside another cardboard shipping box – it’s more than I want to deal with. So I came down to the local packing and shipping company in Massachusetts and said “Help!”

The best packing and shipping company in Massachusetts makes shipping kids’ toys – and everything else – super simple and stress free. Their friendly, knowledgeable staff pack everything according to industry best practices. This means your items are safe and secure throughout the shipping process, so they will arrive at their intended destination in great condition.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship Packages?

“I really had no idea how much it costs to ship anything,” Caitlyn said. “So I called my local pack and ship store and told them what I had. They were able to give me a ballpark estimate that made it clear it was totally worth letting them handle the stress of getting everything boxed up and sent out.

What was really convenient and helpful was how they also walked me through all of my insurance options. I never really thought about insuring a shipment – I never did that before – but it did give me peace of mind. And they helped me pick the best shipping method to ensure my nephew’s presents made it to his house with time to spare.”

"My daughter had moved to London and I was shipping her belongings to her: paintings, dishes, silverware, books, etc. I was very concerned about things arriving safely, especially the dishes and other breakable items. We were also concerned about expediting the customs process in London and making sure nothing was lost in a warehouse someplace. With Boston Pack and Ship managing the delivery, everything went extremely well. The people who came to pack were very professional and the people at the company were very knowledgeable about the process, including having contacts in London to get things through the customs process. And everything arrived safely. We couldn’t be more pleased with Boston Pack and Ship’s service."

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!
