South Shore Shipping Holiday Packages

December 18, 2013 by admin

With less than a week remaining until Christmas, is it too late to ship holiday gifts? Not necessarily, say the major delivery companies. You still have time, although it’s important to understand that the longer you wait to ship your holiday gifts from the South Shore, the more money you’re going to pay.

Additionally, as we all know, the weather is unpredictable. While all the delivery carriers do their very best to make sure holiday packages arrive on time, a major snowstorm or other weather event could slow things down. For that reason, you’ll want to visit your South Shore shipping store as soon as possible.

South Shore Shipping Secrets: Packing Presents Properly!

The holiday season is the busiest time of the year. More packages and parcels are shipped during December than the rest of the year combined. This means the infrastructure of the shipping system is stressed to the max. You want to make sure you pack all of your presents in stout, strong new shipping boxes: using a recycled box now significantly increases the chances that your gifts will be crushed or damaged.

Another great tip to make sure your presents arrive in one piece is to use the proper packing materials. First of all, wrapping paper is not a packing material: crumbling up extra wrapping paper to cushion your gifts is a recipe for disaster! Come to Boston Pack and Ship, your South Shore shipping specialist, for a full selection of shipping materials, including peanuts, bubble wrap, kraft paper shreds and more. Strongly recommended for electronic and super fragile gifts: foam in place technology, which cushions and supports your gifts inside a durable styrofoam-like shell.

The holidays can be a super stressful time, especially if you feel like time’s running out on you! The friendly team at Boston Pack and Ship are here to put a little Merry back in Merry Christmas! We’ll help you pack your presents properly and get them shipped where they need to go!

"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!
