Shipping the World Cup Trophy

July 14, 2014 by admin

The World Cup has come, at long last, to its end. Germany has beaten Argentina in a very exciting, well-played game. They’ve been awarded the World Cup trophy: if you turn on the news right now, odds are you’re going to see a bunch of triumphant Germans waving it around over their heads. But have you ever thought about how the World Cup travels from destination to destination?

Any time you have to ship an extremely valuable item, special precautions must be taken. There’s the issue of crating the item securely, whether that’s in a custom wooden shipping crate or a very durable cardboard shipping box. You need a container that is both durable (after all, even though the World Cup trophy is not, in fact, solid gold, it is still quite heavy!) and secure – imagine how quickly bad guys would melt that trophy down and sell the gold if given the opportunity. (It’s happened before, in 1983!)

We don’t think FIFA is even pondering holding the World Cup in Boston, but in case they do, we’d like to let them know that Boston Pack and Ship is the South Shore’s best source for both custom built wooden shipping crates and shipping boxes!

Another item that’s important when you’re shipping valuable, one of a kind items is the packing materials used. Gold is durable, but it’s not indestructible. If the World Cup trophy got banged around while it was being shipped, there’s no doubt it could easily be bent or damaged. That’s why packing materials are so important. For the ultimate in protection, we’d recommend foam-in-place technology. This innovative packaging system involves a special hardening foam that’s piped into place around the valuable item, which is first wrapped in a protective film. This foam cushions, cradles and protects everything inside it from moisture, gravity, electric shock and more.

You may not have a World Cup trophy. (Don’t feel bad, Lionel Messi doesn’t either!) But you still may need to ship valuable items. For the ultimate in security, protection and peace of mind, choose Boston Pack and Ship for your shipping needs!

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move a dining room hutch from my sister-in-law's house in Wellesley, Massachusetts to my apartment in New York City. The process was really quick and easy. I spoke with Bill Yankee on a Thursday, and I had my piece delivered the following Wednesday. My sister-in-law said the pick up on her side was quick and seamless. I was given a specific two-hour time frame and the movers were on time. They even helped reassemble part of the furniture. Throughout the process Bill was communicative and had great follow up. I didn't need to chase him down, and when I had a question, he was available or responded immediately."

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!
