It’s Safer To Ship It: When You Have To Fly With Valuable Items

September 12, 2012 by admin

We understand the need for heightened security in the nation’s airports. What’s not as understandable, especially for the flying public, is the phenomenon of airline baggage theft. For years now, passengers have been reporting the loss of jewelry, high tech items such as iPads and computers, valuable clothing, irreplaceable artwork and more. Other items weren’t stolen, just vandalized – wrecked so the owners can no longer enjoy them.  In many cases, the passengers have no effective means of recourse.

What does that mean to you, the traveler, when you’re thinking about traveling with valuable items? We’re always advised to pack these items as carry-ons, but that’s not always possible or practical. For the ultimate in peace of mind, consider shipping your possessions rather than flying with them. As your Boston shipping specialist, we’re ready and prepared to safely and securely ship your jewelry, artwork, computers, or other valuable items. Collectibles, antiques, fine books: we’ve shipped all of these items and have a proven track record for excellence and attention to detail.

Custom crating services ensure your items are protected against breakage. We work with only the most reliable, trusted freight personnel.  Over $31 billion dollars worth of valuables have disappeared from this nation’s airports. That’s just unacceptable. Why should you have to worry about your valuable possessions arriving safely after you’ve trusted them into the custody of airline personnel?

Fixing this situation is going to take a significant amount of effort on the part of the airlines and TSA personnel. While we’re waiting for this to happen, it’s both reasonable and prudent to consider alternative arrangements when you’re traveling with high-value items. This is particularly true if the items are small and easily concealed, as jewelry and electronics often are. Having your Boston shipping store package and ship these items for you is the safer option. Great to know after trade shows, conventions, industry events, or buying trips.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected’. I can’t thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."
