When Downsizing, Packing and Shipping Service Simplified Potentially Overwhelming Task for Senior Couple

July 20, 2022 by admin

“Maybe I will miss the snow and ice,” Gwendolyn said. “Who knows? We’re going to be in that gorgeous California sunshine. It’ll make up for it.” The eighty-three year old Boston native is moving, along with her companion of many years, Stanley. “The only issue is we have so much stuff. Some of it’s going to my kids, some of it’s going to Stanley’s children and grandchildren. There are some things we’re sending to my alma mater. And there’s a painting that needs to go to my sister in Detroit.”

What promised to be an overwhelming task became much simpler once Stanley did a search for packing and shipping services in Massachusetts. “I’m always telling him to get off that damn phone,” Gwendolyn said, “but I guess this time it worked out. We found a really friendly bunch of people who worked with us to get everything packed and shipped out. Everything was boxed up for us, labelled, insured, and delivered right where it needed to go. They even built a wooden shipping crate for the painting!”

Stanley, a man of few words, did mention that he really enjoyed being able to check the tracking information from his phone. “It made me happy to know my books had gotten to my granddaughter,” he said. “She’s a mystery buff just like me, and there are some really good ones in there.”

Downsizing is a challenge no matter how old you are. If you’re faced with a mountain of possessions you’d like to ship to family and friends, one life hack to help make it simple is to work with a packing and shipping service in Massachusetts. They can handle the whole job, from packing your items in strong new cardboard shipping boxes, labelling and insuring your shipment, and coordinating with the freight carrier with any special delivery instructions you may have.

"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!
