Shipping Packages to Remote Locations

March 24, 2014 by admin

“My daughter is a field researcher for the United Nations. She works on water safety and supply,” David said. “Her work takes her all over the world. This can make it tricky when it’s time to send her birthday presents or care packages. She’s so far off the beaten track that they don’t even have tracks!”

Shipping packages internationally can be challenging. The situation becomes even more complicated when you’re dealing with recipients who are in regions that don’t have the same sort of infrastructure we’re used to here, in the South Shore. However, by working with an experienced shipping company, it is possible to get your packages to even the most remote destination.

A word to the wise: packages that are going to extremely remote destinations take longer to get there than you might expect. Sometimes mail services only visit the most remote villages on a weekly, monthly, or fortnightly basis. With this in mind, you’ll want to allow plenty of time for your packages to arrive. David, for example, sent his daughter’s birthday package three months before it needed to arrive.

Additionally, extra care must be taken when preparing a package for shipment to extremely remote locations. Making sure a package is water-proof, crush-proof, and as secure as humanly possible without being excessively heavy is a balancing act definitely left to the pros. The team at Boston Pack and Ship – your South Shore shipping store! – is very experienced at preparing packages to be shipped to the  most rugged, remote destinations.

They have experience, and they also have Foam in Place technology. This innovative solution creates a hardened styrofoam shell inside your shipping box, around your items. Foam in place cushions and cradles delicate electronics, fragile glassware and more: the ideal protection when you know your boxes have a long way to go over bumpy roads – or sometimes no roads at all!

"At a minimum, we use Boston Pack and Ship on a monthly basis to ship servers and other IT hardware for new projects as well as existing expansions. Besides the care they give to the product being shipped, Boston Pack and Ship’s customer service from beginning to end is stellar. They consistently follow up and if there are any issues, they take care of them promptly. Boston Pack Ship, by far, is the best and safest way to get your shipment from here to there and not have to worry about it arriving in more pieces than it left."

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!
