Shipping Holiday Gifts Overseas? What You Need To Know

October 26, 2015 by admin

Where did October go? We’re seeing all the little kids getting excited about Halloween, and for those of us in the packing and shipping business, that means one thing: crunch time is about to start. The first big rush of holiday gift shipments will come from those who want to send presents to loved ones in the military, Europe, South America, Asia, India, Africa and more. Santa can get all around the world in one evening, but the rest of us need a little more time. Here’s what you need to know:

Top Quality Shipping Boxes & Custom Crating – Very Important!

International shipping is rough on packages. When your gift is going thousands of miles, via a combination of plane, ship, rail, and delivery truck, there’s a lot of potential for it to be dropped, kicked, or otherwise knocked around. To keep your gift looking great, don’t skimp on your shipping boxes. Recycled cardboard boxes are not strong enough to reliably survive international shipping! Have your MA international shipping company hook you up with new cardboard shipping boxes or, if needed, custom shipping crates. They can also supply the right sort of packing materials you need to reduce breakage – critical if you’re shipping fragile gifts or electronics.

Start Shipping Right Away

International shipping takes time. The sooner you’ve shipped your package, the sooner you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing it has arrived safely at its target destination. Talk to your MA international shipping company about insurance and tracking options. That way you’ll know where your item is throughout its global journey.

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move from San Francisco to Boston. There was a bit of a lag period of about a month from when my items were picked up to when I arrived in Boston. The company was great at accommodating my schedule. I was so overwhelmed when I arrived to Boston! It was quite comforting that the movers were punctual, professional and kind and that all my things arrived in great condition. The movers were even kind enough to install my window AC when they realized it was too heavy for me to pick up! I would definitely recommend Boston Pack and Ship."
