Don’t Let International Shipping Stop Your Small Business Growth

December 6, 2021 by admin

"I launched my business during the pandemic, just like everyone else," Dashawn said. "But unlike everyone else, I don't know how to do certain things. When I got my first big order from Great Britian, of course I was excited. But on the other hand, how do I ship products internationally affordably?" When you're running your own business, there's always a learning curve involved. Shipping is … [Read more...]

Shipping Musical Instruments – The Do’s And Don’ts

September 15, 2021 by admin

Don't: Use T-Shirts, crumpled up newspaper, or recycled air pillows as packing material when shipping musical instruments. The choice of packing material is critical in ensuring your musical instruments are safe while they are being transported. Packing materials are chosen to keep the instrument from shifting inside the box during transit. They're also used to provide support to the instrument … [Read more...]

Shipping Stressing You Out? Don’t Sweat It!

June 25, 2013 by admin

"They say that days are longer in the summer, but I don't believe it," Mavis said. "There's just not enough time in the day to get everything done that I need to do.  Everybody's getting married, and that means shopping for gifts, and that takes time, and then you've got to ship everything. That means you've got to find all these boxes, and somehow get the packing materials - where do they even … [Read more...]

Are You Paying Too Much To Move Your Stuff?

June 10, 2013 by admin

"Man, I never knew how expensive moving was!" Randi laughed. "I guess being a military brat just sort of blinds you to the fact that civilians have to pay to send their furniture halfway around the world." Now that she's on her own, Randi has retained the military-inspired tendency to travel light. "It's just me, and I only have what I consider to be the essential stuff: a bed, a dresser, a … [Read more...]

May 24, 2013 by admin

Tonight, you may notice that the moon is brighter and larger than usual. That's because it's what astronomers call a Supermoon - an event where the moon's orbit is just a little closer than normal. It'll  be beautiful, and it's a great chance to do some lunar observations. If you're an astronomer, of the backyard or professional variety, you may need to ship a telescope or other celestial … [Read more...]

Planet Friendly Shipping: What’s Really Involved?

March 28, 2013 by admin

"I'm very, very concerned about the health of our planet," Morgan said. "That's why I use recycled boxes to ship everything I sell on eBay. Newspapers  work very well as packing materials if you use enough of them!" There's only one problem with Morgan's plan to save the planet using recycled shipping materials. The boxes he rescued from the local liquor store turned out to break under … [Read more...]

Boston Holiday Shipping Spotlight: Shipping Artwork

The holiday season is here again!  That means it’s time to pick out gifts for your favorite people. Artwork makes a spectacular gift.  It’s the ultimate in personal gift giving: selecting a painting, print, etching or sculpture for your recipient shows thoughtfulness and care. It used to be that buying art was a rich man’s game.  That’s not true anymore.  Thanks in part to the internet, it’s … [Read more...]

"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."
