Boston Collectible Shipping Spotlight: Vintage Metal Lunchboxes

September 22, 2011 by admin

Lunch boxes have been a part of American childhood for over 80 years. It was in the 1930's that the first metal lunch boxes appeared. However, things didn't get really interesting until the 1950's, when television characters began appearing on the side of lunchboxes.

Eastern Ma: The Challenges of Shipping Antiques

May 30, 2011 by admin

The very qualities that make antiques desirable: their age, the graceful lines and delicate workmanship of years gone by, their fragility, their unique nature - for many antiques are truly one of a kind - also make them difficult to ship. People who buy antiques know there's no greater disappointment than to have a long-desired piece delivered - only to discover that it has broken in transit! Is … [Read more...]

Boston: Shipping Companies Can Play A Role in Preventing Art Theft

Packing and Shipping a Boston Estate: The Challenges

November 3, 2010 by admin

"I knew that when my great-aunt Chloe died, it was going to be on me to clean up her estate and ship certain items to relatives and friends. We'd talked about it many times, and Chloe had gone over all of her wishes with me. What I didn't know," Boston native Sheila S. said, "was what a big and complicated job shipping an estate can be!" Chloe had left some nice things to her family, who … [Read more...]

" I recently sent a shipment of some furniture, dishes and lots of books from one coast to another. The service I got from Boston Pack and Ship was outstanding from start to finish. The goods were packed well on time and then were delivered in perfect condition at the other end. I was very impressed with the quality of packing, no damage, not even a dented carton. I have had to move things many times, and this is without doubt the best experience I have ever had."

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!
