What Are The Benefits of Crate Shipping?

November 14, 2022 by admin

One of the services offered by the best shipping store in Boston is custom crate building and crate shipping. If you’re not familiar with these terms, just hang on – we’ll soon provide all of the information you’re seeking, including a definition of crate shipping and the reasons you may want to have custom crates built for items you’re shipping.

What is a Shipping Crate? What is Crate Shipping?

When you receive packages at your home, they generally arrive in cardboard shipping boxes. However, there are times when shipments are too large, too fragile, or too valuable to be trusted to even the best cardboard shipping box. Shipping crates are purpose built containers that can be constructed of wood, plastic, or metal. They are used to contain and protect items during the shipping process. This is called crate shipping.

What are the benefits of using shipping crates? First and foremost, shipping crates deliver a superior level of protection to your items. They’re extremely strong and durable – even if other heavy shipping crates are stacked on top of them, your stuff will be fine.

Using shipping crates can also help prevent your items from being stolen. It’s one thing for a person to take a small yet valuable box during the transportation process (talk to your local shipping store to make sure you’re properly insured against this type of unfortunate event!) but it is a very rare individual who will take the much greater risk of breaking into the shipping crates to see what’s inside.

Where To Get Shipping Crates in Eastern MA?

Because we provide packing and shipping services in Eastern MA, local business owners ask us if they can build their own shipping crates or if it is better to have shipping crates built for you. We like to work with business owners on a case by case basis to answer that question. For the majority of small business owners, especially those who don’t have tools or construction experience of any sort, having custom shipping crates built is often the most cost-effective solution.

"We could not believe how well packed our Windsor chair and Sheraton bench were packed as they had to travel from Cape Cod, Ma to a suburb of San Francisco in Ca. They arrived in perfect condition and what would you expect? Each piece was packed in their own box, wrapped completely, and anchored so they could not move inside their respective boxes. Then, Boston Ship and Pack secured the boxes on a wooden pallet. The Dish Pack with family heirlooms was packed as carefully by the company's professional packers. All our treasures arrived safely. This is not the first time we have used Boston Pack and Ship and it won't be the last. Thanks Bill and your team for making our move worry-free. You spent a lot of time with us planning all the details of our sudden move. We can never thank you enough."
