Avoid damages in transit

If you are dropping a book in the mail or sending a sweater to your sister, breakage is not an issue. However, when you need to ship something fragile, like a computer monitor or clock, you can't take chances. Think of the disappointment when your gift recipient receives a box that rattles with the pieces of what had been a special toy. Imagine the consequences of a broken laptop sent to a colleague. When you need your items to arrive in perfect condition, proper packing prevents damage.

Drawbacks of do-it-yourself packing

If you want to pack items yourself, you start by searching for just the right box size. Then you're off to spend money on boxes, bubble wrap, padding material, maybe some packing paper or filler like styrofoam peanuts, heavy duty tape, and other packing materials. You might have to go to a moving supplies store and figure out which moving boxes you'll need. Then you pack it all together, packing and unpacking your stuff until you have it right. You hope your boxes arrive in good shape.

Leave the job to the professional packers

To do your own packing well can be a time-consuming process. In addition, buying the right supplies can quickly add up the cost. Worse yet, even with lots of bubble wrap and plenty of your valuable time, you still may not pack your item properly. The cute coffee mugs you sent to the college students in your family or the expensive hair dryer you sent for a birthday present can still show up broken. Plenty of people have learned this lesson the hard way.

Professional packing services

When you bring your items to Shipping Place & More for professional packing services, you don't have to worry about the packing process or finding the right box or crate and buying packing supplies, like plastic wrap or packing tape. We stock a huge variety of boxes and it is part of our packing service and our responsibility to find the right one for the job.

Certified packing specialists

Proper packing is both a science and an art. Let the packing services experts at Shipping Place & More professionally pack your items for either short or long distance shipping. Our employees are all background-checked and you can rest assured that your belongings are safe and secure. We are certified retail packing specialists who treat your fragile goods with the same care we would use if we were packing our own belongings.

The right box

You don't want a box that's too big or too small -- and that's why we stock over 70 box sizes. We have a variety of double-wall and single-wall boxes as well as specialty boxes and moving boxes, designed for artwork, laptops, lamps, and so forth. If we don't have the right box or crate in stock, we offer custom crating services, something you rarely see in shipping stores. It is part of our full service packing help for our customers. We don't have partial packing services or have different service levels for your belongings -- we just have one strategy: do the job right.

Packed to perfection

No matter how much stuff you are shipping -- whether you have a few items or every work of art in an entire home, we know how to properly pack anything from a kitchen chair to small collectibles. Our full service process is designed to be stress free for you. Our  "Packed to Perfection" guarantee gives you peace of mind to know that your items are packed to meet or exceed all carrier requirements. If any damage or loss occurs during transit, you can rest assured that the Shipping Place & More stands behind our stress-free packing service. With our packing services, we guarantee your package for insurability.

Picking the right carrier

 .    

Because Shipping Place & More has long-standing working relationships with many long distance shipping services, like UPS and FedEx, we can also eliminate the tough decisions on which service to use for delivery. Let our packing teams do the heavy lifting with matching your shipments to the right delivery services.

Carriers' requirement for packing goods

Did you know that the leading carriers require boxes and contents to be packed securely enough to withstand a three-foot drop? With all the loading and partial packing and then packing and unpacking trucks, boxes can get tossed around. Your boxes will inevitably end up under heavier boxes. With professional packing at the front end of the whole moving process of goods, your shipment is significantly better able to survive falls and other dangers in transit.

Additional services

Shipping Place & More is not a moving company. Full-service movers and moving companies take goods from an entire house and the movers follow the entire moving process including unpacking services. However, when necessary, we have had staff members visit a client's home and pick up items that they would like to have professionally packed and shipped. The items are then taken back to the store for packing and shipping through standard delivery services like UPS, FedEx, DHL and the U.S. Postal Service. In other cases, our packing professionals have visited offices to pick up desks, furniture, copiers, and so forth. Then the items are packed, crated, or put on pallets and moved via tractor-trailer companies.
