“When my aunt passed away, it fell to my sister and I to clean out her condo and ship her furniture and belongings to the family members she left them to. What a big job!” Raven said. “We needed a lot of wooden shipping crates and shipping boxes. At first I thought I could get free boxes from the grocery store, but that didn’t work out so well.”
While it’s ecologically tempting to reuse cardboard boxes for shipping, it’s not a good idea if you want your items to arrive in good condition. “The boxes I got from the grocery were pretty sorry specimens, I have to say,” Raven said. “They weren’t very durable or strong. So I set out looking for the best South Shore shipping boxes.”
Boston Pack and Ship: Your South Shore Source For Shipping Boxes and Custom Shipping Crates
“I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on shipping boxes. Boston Pack and Ship gave me the best price for high quality shipping boxes,” Raven said. “So I picked them as my South Shore shipping box source. This turned out to be a really good decision when we got around to shipping the furniture.”
Raven’s aunt had left antique tables, a book case, and and a very large armchair to be shipped. “You can’t fit this stuff in a shipping box. You need a wooden shipping crate. I thought shipping crates came in standard sizes, but I learned that the best practice is to have wooden shipping crates custom built. That way they’ll fit your furniture perfectly, with just enough space for packing materials. This really cuts down on breakage and damage. Some of my aunt’s furniture isn’t exactly sturdy, you know? It needs protection.”
Custom build wooden shipping crates are built to meet carrier’s standards while making sense for your budget. “If you need custom shipping crates in the South Shore, choose Boston Pack and Ship!”
