With the holidays rapidly approaching, it is time to pack, wrap and ship your holiday presents.
Some of the more difficult items to pack for shipping are: china, stemware, crystal, silver, paintings, pictures with glass, food, sculptures and chandeliers, and toys.
When searching for a company to help you ship these gifts, look for a company that can offer pick up service when needed.
Ask if the company can build custom boxes or crates in order to fit the exact size of your gift. Can the company offer packing services as well as offer you the supplies and advice on how to pack the item for shipping on your own?
Can the company you choose give you a price up front, as well as a tracking number once your shipment has been shipped?
Can the company you choose describe the way that they will pack you precious item in a box or crate?
If it is less expensive to freight a large gift, can the company you choose offer this service?
When researching a packing store, look for a store that has been in business for many years. A company that only sets up a shop somewhere for the holiday season may not have the expertise to pack your presents correctly and safely for shipping.
