Shipping Antique Furniture: Your South Shore Solution

November 25, 2013 by admin

“Duncan Phyfe is one of my personal heroes,” Ginny said. “He may not be as popular as he once was, but there’s no denying the impact he had on American design and early furniture. That’s why when I see a Duncan Phyfe piece, if I can afford it, I buy it.”

“You’d be surprised how flexible the definition of what my wife considers ‘affordable’ is,” Alec laughed.  “One way I try to keep the budget under control is to look for ways to save money on shipping.” Alec and Ginny live in Maine, a good distance from their favorite antique hunting grounds in the South Shore. “What we’ve found is that investing in high-quality, knowledgeable shipping services is a great idea.”

“We’ve tried the shipping services you find in an Office Max or Staples,” Ginny confirmed. “Those guys might be great if you want to ship documents or maybe a small package, but you don’t want to choose them for shipping antique furniture.” She frowns as she recounts the story of a Phyfe double pedestal table that arrived broken. “There was no accountability: they offered to reimburse us, but the issue with antique furniture is never reimbursement – it’s that these items are one of a kind and irreplaceable!”

“Insist on custom crating for all your antique furniture purchases,” Alec said. “That’s what we like about Boston Pack and Ship. They build wooden shipping crates to order, designed specifically to protect your antique furniture while still keeping the budget under control. These crates are durable and well-made. We’ve never had an issue with damaged furniture since we started using Boston Pack and Ship.”

"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."
