Two Shipping Resolutions Every South Shore Small Business Owner Needs To Make

December 31, 2013 by admin

There are a lot of small businesses in the South Shore. We’re blessed with an excess of entrepreneurial spirit in these parts. Small businesses run the gamut from part-time single person operations to intensely focused professionals who are competing on a global level. South Shore businesses cover every industry, from fine arts and crafts through biotechnology and more. Many of these businesses do a lot of shipping. Here are 2 shipping resolutions every South Shore small business owner needs to make:

Resolution #1: Stop Using Recycled Boxes for Shipping!

We understand you want to save the planet. We really, really do. But reusing cardboard boxes to ship your merchandise is such a bad idea. Here’s why: with repeated use, cardboard shipping boxes become less rigid. They lose strength. This means they’re more likely to collapse or be crushed during the shipping process – not great news for whatever’s inside. Also: recycled boxes don’t always look nice: not a great way to impress your customers. Save your recycled boxes for internal needs or take them to the recycling center. Use strong new cardboard shipping boxes for merchandise. They’re stronger and look better: good news for your brand!

Resolution #2: Choose the Right Packing Materials. Every. Single. Time. You. Ship.

There are many types of packing materials available to South Shore small business owners who  need to ship packages. Not all packing materials are equally appropriate for all situations: a lap top computer, for example, might require more cushioning and support than a sofa cushion! It’s important to make your choice of packing material based on the type of materials you ship, the type of transport involved, and your budget. The pros at Boston Pack and Ship will help you make the right choices.  Make sure to ask about Foam in Place technology, an innovative new packing material specially designed to protect fragile, high value items.

"In August, my 83-year-old father fell down the cellar stairs and broke his elbow. Following elbow replacement surgery in Boston he was transferred to skilled nursing care in West Bridgewater. Unfortunately, the injury left him unable to maintain his own household. My husband and I made the decision to move him to our home in California. My time frame was incredibly short - 11 days till departure via airplane to CA. I needed to pack and ship whatever items would be going to CA. We would not be moving the entire household - just several paintings, memorabilia, clothing and a large full keyboard electronic piano. After calling several moving companies that required large weight minimums to bid the job, I was referred to Joe Fell at Boston Pack and Ship.

Joe was absolutely wonderful. He calmly explained the shipping options available through Boston Pack and Ship and they could definitely handle the job. Joe helped me locate appropriately sized shipping boxes so that I could pack things up myself, thereby saving money. He also stayed in constant contact with me via phone and email, coaching me through the shipping process. We scheduled pickup nine days after my arrival in MA. Joe became an instant friend to me throughout this extremely stressful time. His caring nature made this difficult move a great deal easier. I am very grateful to have found this wonderful company. "

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!
