What Makes One Packing and Shipping Company Better Than Another?

June 14, 2019 by admin

“Maybe it’s just me,” Lynne said, “but when I’m shipping a computer that I paid over $2,000 for, I want to be sure it gets there in one piece. And that means I have some questions about packing and shipping companies in Boston. Are they all the same? What makes one packing and shipping company better than another one?”

When you’re shipping a high value item, of course you want to be sure that it’s packed properly. This means the first thing you should look for in a Boston packing and shipping company is expertise. There are specific industry best practices to ship different types of fragile items, from electronics, glassware, clocks, art and more. An expert packing and shipping company will be very familiar with these best practices and have all of the necessary supplies on hand to ship your items safely.

How Much Should I Pay To Have an Item Packed and Shipped in Boston?

Shipping costs vary based on the size and weight of the item, its final destination, and what method you’re using to ship the item. Obviously, shipping a small item domestically is going to be much more affordable than shipping a large item overseas. Your packing and shipping company should be able to explain the pricing to you, and, whenever possible, give you a number of shipping options to choose from so you can pick the one that best meets your needs.

When it comes to paying to pack the item, there’s no one size fits all answer. While some shipping companies do offer flat rate packing services, these typical apply only to relatively small, easy to handle packages. When you have a large, fragile, or valuable item, special packing materials, including custom wooden shipping crates, may be required. In these instances, you’ll pay more for packing services, but you’re also getting a greater degree of protection for your items.

"I got a job in France and I had to organize my move there. Boston Pack and Ship took care of shipping my belongings. They picked up everything at my house, packed the furniture so it would not be affected during the travel and shipped it to Marseille, France. From the very beginning, Boston Pack and Ship addressed my concerns and answered my questions. They even gave me the information of the company they work with in Marseille so I could contact them directly, have an estimate on how much it will cost once in Marseille and how to proceed for custom/pick up. Boston Pack and Ship was always available to me, even once the shipment was on the boat and everything arrived in perfect shape! "
