Depending on the size, fragility, insurable value and the method of transportation to be used, we will choose the most appropriate packaging materials for the maximum protection of your item. Handle With Care Packaging Store operators have a wide range of packaging materials and methods to choose from, including foam-in-place, Styrofoam loosefill, poly foam wrap, various types of bubble packaging, furniture wrap, newsprint, sheet corrugated cardboard and many other materials. Every shipping company service provider in our network can make custom boxes to fit any item, which is essential for providing both maximum protection and minimum dimensional weight.

The decision to box or crate is very critical for the protection of valuable items, as the choice affects the weight and thus transit costs. For these reasons, the box or crate decision depends heavily upon a combination of the value, fragility and transit environment chosen for the item being shipped. A qualified and experienced packaging and shipping expert should always be consulted when making this very important decision.

We can pack and ship anything. From a sailboat to a soap statue, antiques and art work, electronics and appliances, whether it's small or large, light or heavy, our packaging experts can do it all. We will size up your shipment and recommend the most appropriate packaging method to protect the value of your shipment, the best carrier for delivering it on time and a solution that fits within your budget. We're the Pack & Ship experts!

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. We have shipped Oscar statues, Star Wars storm trooper uniforms, aircraft computers, sail boats, mouse brains, architectural models, kayaks, rocking chairs, grandfather clocks and everything else under the sun. There doesn't seem to be anything we can't pack and ship!

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.
