Professional packing pays off.

Carriers can deny a declared-value claim when packaging is not up to their standard. Professional packing keeps your shipment eligible, which makes it the right choice for anything valuable.

We handle fragile, oversized, and oddly shaped items every day.

Questions we get a lot.

Do I need to bring my own box?
No. We stock every box size and can build one for your exact item. Standard sizes, oversized, or custom-cut, we find the right fit.
What is the difference between your packing and just buying packing materials?
Carriers hold shipments to a high packing standard and can deny a damage claim when an item was not packed well enough to survive normal handling. When we pack it professionally with the right materials, your shipment meets that standard, so a declared-value claim stands a much better chance of being honored. Coverage is provided by the carrier, under its terms and limits. The real value is packing that holds up.
How much does it cost?
Depends on size, fragility, and materials. A standard 12×12×12 fragile pack runs around $15 to $30 including box, padding, and labor. Oversized custom boxes start around $40. We always quote before we start.
Can you ship internationally?
Yes. We handle the customs paperwork, declarations, and HS codes. UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS all offer international service through us. Bring valid ID and we will walk you through what is allowed in the destination country.
Will my item be insured?
Every shipment includes baseline coverage from the carrier (usually $100 declared value). For higher-value items we recommend declared-value coverage, about $1 per $100 of value, up to the carrier maximum. Because we pack it professionally, your shipment meets carrier packaging requirements, so a claim is far more likely to be honored. Coverage comes from the carrier, under its terms.
What if I do not know what it costs to ship?
Drop in or call with rough dimensions and weight. We will quote both the packing and the shipping at once, so there are no surprises.
