Crating and Packing in Houston, Texas, or How to Send It Once You Buy It (hassle and worry free, of course)!
This blog applies to shopping, packing and shipping all across the country!
Aah yes, browsing and buying in the big city can be so exciting, especially when you find bargains to resell at an incredible mark-up, aesthetically pleasing under-priced treasures for your castle, or gifts for the gaggle of friends and relatives back home.
Houston is an amazing place; full of life, entertainment, and SHOPPING! There are more than 600 art galleries, 700 antique stores, 50 auction houses, plus all the other retail options you can imagine in a city of over 2 million (wow).
Once you have completed your shopping spree(s) you are going to have the unsettling task of figuring out how to get all your goodies to their various destinations, preferably intact and without major time and effort on your part. So, you need to find out about packing and crating in Houston.
If you have the knowledge, or the time and patience to research shipping methods, you can embark on your next adventure: standing in line to buy packing materials (don't ya love the queue, heels being rammed by the cart behind you or listening to a screaming baby?) You will also need to calculate the proper amount of shipping materials to buy, and then hope you know how to properly pack fragile items. Large, valuable pieces (artwork, statues) need to be crated with ample padding, not just placed loose in a cardboard box, and smaller fragile items require peanuts and bubble wrap. And of course, there can also be the challenges of figuring out international shipping: first class packages can be up to 4 pounds (as opposed to 13 ounces in the US); there are many restricted (forbidden) items, and heavier packages require triplicate forms.
A quick search online will find you a reputable shipping company, with reviews confirming its ability to pack properly and knowledge of all things legal.
