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.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected’. I can’t thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."
