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!

"We could not believe how well packed our Windsor chair and Sheraton bench were packed as they had to travel from Cape Cod, Ma to a suburb of San Francisco in Ca. They arrived in perfect condition and what would you expect? Each piece was packed in their own box, wrapped completely, and anchored so they could not move inside their respective boxes. Then, Boston Ship and Pack secured the boxes on a wooden pallet. The Dish Pack with family heirlooms was packed as carefully by the company's professional packers. All our treasures arrived safely. This is not the first time we have used Boston Pack and Ship and it won't be the last. Thanks Bill and your team for making our move worry-free. You spent a lot of time with us planning all the details of our sudden move. We can never thank you enough."
