Shipping Formula? Here’s What You Need to Know

May 13, 2022 by admin

“My grandson has some medical issues that mean he can only tolerate one specific kind of baby formula,” Marilyn said. “And of course that’s the formula that’s in such short supply right now. I have been able to get two cans and I need to know what is the best way to ship it to my son and his girlfriend.”

Packing Baby Formula for Shipping: Speedy Delivery

Here are some tips from Boston’s best packing and shipping service on how to ship baby formula safely and quickly. Keep the formula in its original packaging. To prevent the cans from being crushed or damaged during shipping, you’ll want to pack them in new cardboard shipping carton, preferably with cardboard reinforcements. Don’t use a recycled box for this, as used boxes simply aren’t as strong or durable.

Check and double check the delivery address before shipping the baby formula. Incorrect addresses are the number one reason packages get lost or delayed. Small details such as Street vs Avenue in the address matter a great deal. Make sure to include any apartment numbers, as well as the zip code.

All major freight carriers offer overnight and express delivery services. These are not inexpensive, but in situations such as getting food to a hungry baby as quickly as possible, they do have a role. Talk to your local packing and shipping professionals about other options, such as 2-day and 3-day delivery.

What About Shipping Breast Milk?

To ship breast milk, you’ll want to have the breast milk frozen. The frozen breast milk then goes into a cooler with ice packs or dry ice, which then goes into a new cardboard shipping carton and processed for express shipping.

The same protocols regarding correct addressing also apply to shipping frozen breast milk. Again, if you have any doubts about how to do this properly, go to your local shipping store. The team there will be happy to help you.

"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!
