Handle With Care Packaging Store operators have handled items as strange as shipping sand castles from California to New York, moving an entire stained glass dome from a Cathedral in California to South America and have been the exclusive pack and ship provider for the "swag baskets" (valued at over $30,000) given to participants at the annual Grammy Awards.

Although the Handle With Care Packaging Stores are not ICC-licensed "movers", they can provide alternative, lower-cost methods for moving smaller loads of personal household goods. Most moving companies often have 1,500-pound to 2,000-pound minimums for the shipments they will accept, but the Handle With Care Packaging Stores specialize in moving these smaller loads. Many students and apartment tenants will fall into this category as well as customers with just one or a few large or awkwardly-sized objects. The Handle With Care Packaging Store professionals can offer you "palletized" and security wrapped alternatives that are both affordable and safe.

Every shipment processed by a Handle With Care Packaging Store will include tracking services during the transportation process. Whether it is shipped via a common carrier such as UPS or FedEx, or given to a freight carrier, tracking services will always be provided.

Always ask if they know what bailee's insurance is and can they provide it. A bailee is an individual or entity that holds the property of "others" and is responsible for the protection of those goods against loss or damage while it is in their custody. Make sure any shipper you examine has this insurance; otherwise, if there's any damage before it's handed to a carrier, it may not be covered against loss or damage.
