What’s the Best Way to Send Your Grandson A PS3 For Christmas?

December 12, 2012 by admin

It’s the holiday season, and you know what that means! Time to send presents and packages to your favorite people. To keep the holidays wonderful and bright, it’s imperative that your gifts arrive on time and in good shape. As your Eastern MA shipping specialist, we’d like to share a few tips on how you can make that happen – especially when you’re shipping fragile, expensive items, like video game consoles and tablet computers.

Grandparent’s Holiday Shipping Tip #1: Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

Although shipping companies like UPS, FedEx and the USPS promise that they can deliver your presents in time – even if you wait until Christmas Eve! – the truth is that package volume goes up exponentially as we get nearer and nearer Christmas Day. Systems can get overwhelmed – especially if a severe weather event (like Hurricane Sandy) throws a wrench in the works. Plan on shipping as soon as you’re done shopping!

Grandparent’s Holiday Shipping Tip #2: Use The Right Packing Materials

The shipping process is rough on packages. Boxes are handled multiple times while they’re in transit. They’re loaded onto trucks, unloaded, reloaded onto other trucks. During this process, although everyone tries to do their best, boxes can get dropped, knocked around, or kicked. Your choice of packing materials is all that’s protecting your delicate items, like laptops, tablet computers, and game systems, from being damaged.

Forget about crumpled newspaper! You need a packing material that will truly protect your items. Talk to your Boston shipping store about Foam in Place technology. This innovative packing solution uses a special expanding foam that is piped into place around your items inside the shipping crate. When this foam hardens (almost instantly!) your item is cushioned and cradled in a protective shell. It’s tough – even if your box does get dropped, your gifts will be safe and secure.

"I used Boston Pack & Ship to send an antique drop-leaf table that had been my mother's and four Windsor chairs that my father had made, an antique blanket chest and two large framed (with glass) photographs. I had no special instructions, but all the items had huge sentimental value - they were all special to me and were now being sent to our oldest son who had just bought his first home. So it was important that they arrive safely. Both Bill and Joe were very friendly, up front with the fees and service provided and the process went just as they described. I might not have thought any more about it, but when the furniture arrived, our son made a point of calling and saying how nice the movers had been and said that I should feel comfortable recommending them to anybody in need of their services."
