Good Things Come In Better Packages?boston Pack And Ship Donates Boxes And Packing Supplies To Cape Cod Cares For Our Troops’ Holiday Care Packag
BRAINTREE, MA and BREWSTER, MA…
As a small load shipping specialist for the two decades, Boston Pack and Ship specializes in safely packing and shipping delicate, fragile items, some with considerable monetary value. In donating 200 boxes and packing supplies to Cape Cod Cares For Our Troops, a non profit dedicated to sending care packages to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, you could argue the contents of those shipments hold far more value—particularly during the holiday season.
Cape Cod Cares For Our Troops is a non-profit organization started by 15-year-old Dylan DeSilva of Brewster, Mass. Dylan wanted to find a way to honor U.S. Troops for their service and sacrifice to our country. With the help of his family and friends he sends care packages to our Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan on a weekly basis. Boston Pack and Ship’s contribution will go towards Cape Cod Cares For Our Troops’ effort to send 500 care holiday packages to U.S. Troops.
“When we heard Dylan’s story and what he was trying to accomplish with the holiday care packages, it wasn’t a question of would we help, but how much we could help,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship. “Cape Cod Cares for Our Troops is a wonderful reminder of what the holidays are supposed to be about: giving. When you consider how far away from home the men and women of our armed forces are, it’s an absolutely wonderful gesture.”
On Saturday November 22nd and Sunday November 23rd at the Trowbridge Tavern, 100 Trowbridge Road in Bourne, Cape Cod Cares for Our Troops will hold a Christmas Care Package Party to assemble all 500+ care packages. Those interested contributing to the care packages can find a list of items and drop-off locations on www.capecod4thetroops.com.
The cost of the entire mailing will run around ,000. If you’d like to make a monetary contribution, please send a check to: Cape Cod Cares for the Troops, 1831 Long Pond Rd. Brewster, MA 02631.
“We’d like to thank Boston Pack and Ship and all our other sponsors and contributors for their generosity,” said DeSilva. “Three hundred care packages is a mighty ambitious goal, but with the help of all our volunteers and contributors, I am sure we’ll make it.”

“On the surface, a Facebook page for a small load shipper might seem an odd combination.

Getting Your Shipping in Shape. Local Companies Outsource Shipping to Boston Pack and Ship
DATELINE: BRAINTREE, MA…
Boston Pack and Ship, a small load shipping specialist for two decades, works with a number of companies as a quasi-shipping department.
“Many of these companies only ship product out less than a half a dozen times a month and many of the products they sell are electronic or computer type equipment which is a specialty to ship. So the dollars to have that expertise in-house might not be in the budget but at the same time it’s a necessity to growing their service. We provide that capability without all the overhead,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship.
Long time Boston Pack and Ship customer Pulse Systems Inc, of Canton, Massachusetts started in 1972, which designs systems for a wide variety of applications including, but not limited to weather monitoring, meteorological systems, wind shear detection, airborne Doppler radar, shipboard Doppler radar, homeland security, military and defense.
“The systems we design are quite sophisticated and require special care for shipping. Due to the rapid growth of our business, many of our systems are being packaged by Boston Pack and Ship. We found that, in addition to having our own shipping department, it was more economical to have some of our shipping needs outsourced to Boston Pack and Ship, a company with more than two decades of shipping experience,” said Ethel Poulos, vice president of Pulse Systems, Inc.
As small load specialists, Boston Pack and Ship provides a number of services to accommodate hard-to-ship, delicate items, expensive business equipment and irreplaceable personal items for out-of-state and international moves. Those services include:
Small loads – with no minimum requirement; blanket-wrapping for fragile, delicate moves; full insurance available
Custom crates and packaging for computers, electronic instruments, prototypes, antiques and artwork.

Boston Movers
Moving during the Summer months in Boston
Moving can be a positive experience if you approach it in the right frame of mind. However, people generally aren’t positive about a change in their home or working environment. It generally means a change in habit and the comfort zone we all cherish. It means taking some risks, but generally speaking, in good times, when people risk change they tend to benefit greatly. You’ve probably already assessed your situation and feel that the new change is a good move. So, you need to think positive and continue feeling confident that you’ve made the right decision.
If you have to move this summer, you’re going to experience a lifestyle change, a change in the status quo, and go through a transition period. These changes can either charge you up or drain you. You’ll be happy to know that some Boston Moving Companies know all about these adjustment issues and know how to ease that transition. Their attitude and services can help you through the challenges.
If you’re only moving across town, it’s not the major change that other people go through when they move to a distant city or a foreign country. People moving to new countries must face language and customs issues, and the much-feared culture shock. In each case, an adjustment to a new living situation is needed.
What every mover goes through however, is a change in scenery, expectations, family support, and daily habits. Your kids may need to adjust to attending a new school and your spouse has to look for a new job. If your move is a corporate relocation, you may have some added work pressures as you take on new responsibilities and work roles. The worry about your future and about your family’s adjustment can put significant stress on you. Some of your fears are real, not imaginary. Your spouse and family may not adjust well to the new location. Life’s not perfect and you’ll have to keep your mind on the big picture while they deal with details of their new reality.
Moving Companies offer Relocation Services
A few Moving Companies offer corporate relocation services and these can make a big difference when you’re headed to a distant city or distant country. A moving company handles interstate and international moves frequently, and in each case, the person or family making the move goes through similar transition issues. Whether it’s emotional issues or just in knowing where everything is in your new location, the moving company with a relocation specialist can help you make this transition better.
International moves and interstate moves are typically done in a hurry as real estate transactions dictate that you’ll have to be out of your old home and on your way to your new one. Once your belongings are loaded into the moving van, you need to travel to your new location. There may be customs and immigrations issues as you cross borders as well. Your relocation specialist can help inform you of what you need to do to make sure your belongings are allowed through to your new country and that your family is allowed in as well. Many people have been stopped at the border.
Aside from the personal issues in making the transition to a new home or corporate job location, there’s the matter of getting your belongings there safely without breakage or delays. The moment you hear that your goods are delayed, or damaged during transport is the moment your stress levels rise and you get upset. Yet, these delays and damages occur.
One of the reasons there are problems with moving companies, is because these movers can’t get qualified people to properly and reliably plan and do the moving. Some of these moving companies hire minimum wage workers with little moving experience. They have little dedication to the job and aren’t too concerned when damage occurs and things are misplaced. The inclination of many people moving is to use the cheapest moving company making the biggest claims. We believe what we want to believe to get through a stressful period when we’re having trouble thinking deeply and clearly. That’s normal and if you’re moving a pile of junk, then it probably doesn’t matter. And as for relocation services, that’s a little out of their milieu.
The choice of a moving company then says a lot about the importance of this move in your life, or your employee’s success in the new location. Some companies hire the best movers and it is a big vote of confidence in the meaning of this move.
Boston Moving Company
For key employees making the transition, a top Boston Moving Company is focused on the people making the move. Corporations moving an employee are only doing so because this particular employee is important to the future of their firm.
A relocated employee should feel important and confident, and that is the positive frame of mind that all people involved in the move need to be in when this transition takes place. Moves are rarely easy, although some people make transitions to their new location with surprising zest. Others make the transition less strongly and without the right flow going to the new location, that employee may experience too much stress and doubt. If you’re a corporate manager looking for relocation services, you need an experienced and competent firm assisting you.
A professional moving company considers the whole move and understands that you need to make the transition safely and happily. Yes, happily. You are going to make this move and you need to be in a positive frame of mind. Instead of hiring some movers that don’t care where you end up, a professional moving company knows that your employer wants you to have a successful move. They’ve got a lot on the line and so do you. Hiring a sloppy moving company is not going to cut it.

Boston Movers-Boston Pack and Ship Creates Special Senior Move Division to Provide Customized Packing Solutions for Seniors and Their Families
Boston Pack and Ship Creates Special Senior Move Division to Provide Customized Packing Solutions for Seniors and Their Families
In many cases, you’re dealing with 20 to 30 years’, or even a lifetime, worth of possessions. To facilitate the special needs that go hand in hand with moving/downsizing senior customers, Boston Pack and Ship, a small load specialist, created a senior move
division.
“Senior moves typically require a lot of decision-making on the part of whomever is doing the move—son, daughter, grandchild, nephew, etc.—in terms of not only what goes with their elder relative to their new, smaller home, but what items are shipped elsewhere or thrown out,” said Joe Fell. “As a small load specialist, we’re skilled in customized packaging of family heirlooms, artwork and other valuables, so your senior relative doesn’t have to worry about their possessions arriving safely at their new home or being shipped safely to a family member or loved one.”
As a small load specialist, Boston Pack and Ship specializes in shipments of less than 1,000 pounds—parameters that can cover a lot of different items. To safely ship such a wide range of items, Boston Pack and Ship creates customized double wall corrugated packaging for its retail and corporate customers. In addition, the Braintree-based company has an on-site workshop for it to build customized wood crates. Tailoring these containers exactly to the dimensions of the shipment dramatically reduces the possibility of damage during shipping—something of critical importance when transporting family heirlooms and other personal belongings that are typically part of a senior move.
“We try to give all of our customers the white glove treatment, but senior moves truly get our absolute best. The transition for seniors and their family members is an emotional experience and we go to extra lengths to make sure that the safe shipment of their possessions is one less thing for them to worry about,” said Fell.
Boston Pack and Ship offers multiple U.S. shipping options including ground and air delivery to a terminal for pickup or inside delivery. International options include air or ocean with door-to-door or door-to-port delivery. Full declared value is available on both domestic and international shipments. Pick-up of items to be packed and shipped for delivery is made by appointment.

Boston Pack and Ship Celebrates One-year Anniversary
BRAINTREE, MA…
“After we were freed from our franchise agreement, we really weren’t sure how things were going to go. Everything was essentially the same right down to the same two guys answering the phone, Bill and I, but you never know,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship. “One year later, we can definitely say that being out on our own has opened a number of doors and we’ve been able to introduce our services to several new markets.”
As its own entity and no longer paying franchise royalties, Boston Pack and Ship has reinvested those funds into marketing the company and building the brand on a local basis. That concentrated effort has allowed Boston Pack and Ship to:
? Develop an online presence through its Web site and search engine optimization; enabling them to attract new business from online searches.
? Enhance services with specialized services for senior moves, artwork moves, international students, estate services and international shipping.
? Participate in philanthropic endeavors; Boston Pack and Ship has contributed shipping materials and supplies to many charitable organizations, including the Marshfield Community Christmas, the Braintree Women’s Club and the Nickerson American Legion Post in Quincy, to name a few.
“What helped us as much as anything was the change in name to Boston Pack and Ship. While people had a pretty good idea of what we did with our previous name, Boston Pack and Ship leaves no doubt about what we do and where we do it,” said Fell.
As small load specialists, Boston Pack and Ship provides a number of services to accommodate hard-to-ship, delicate items, expensive business equipment and irreplaceable personal items for out-of-state and international moves. Those services include:

Boston Movers-Getting good wood on shipments?Boston Pack and Ship receives Northeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association certification
Getting good wood on shipments?Boston Pack and Ship receives Northeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association certification
BRAINTREE, MA…
As a small load-shipping specialist, Boston Pack and Ship builds crates to fit some rather unique sized objects—e.g. artwork, grandfather’s clocks, high value computer servers/electronics. Yet for overseas shipments, that crate not only has to fit whatever is being shipped, but made from the right wood. Hence the importance of Boston Pack and Ship’s recent certification by the Northeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association (NeLMA).
Established in 1933, NeLMA is the rules writing agency for Eastern White Pine Lumber and the grading authority for Eastern Spruce, Balsam Fir, Spruce Pine Fir (SPFs) species grouping and other commercially important eastern softwood lumber species. Wooden crates used to ship items overseas must be stamped by a governing body like NeLMA.
“Overseas, there’s been a real problem with shipments in wooden crates infested with termites and other insects and bugs. Those insects travel via crate, jump off and then infest trees and vegetation. The new customs regulations mandate that crates being shipped overseas have the approval of a regulating body like NeLMA or the overseas customs officers will destroy the crate and what’s inside. Not to mention the serious fines that are involved. That’s why Boston Pack and Ship receiving our NeLMA certification is critical,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship.
Wood to be used for crates for overseas shipping must meet the guidelines set by the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures. Specifically, wood used for crates must be heat-treated for 30 minutes at 133 degrees to receive the NeLMA stamp.
“Many of the softer woods like spruce can’t be used for overseas crates because though they have been heat-treated, they have not been treated for the right length of time and temperature,” added Fell. “That’s something that NeLMA really stays on top of. Even with our certification, we still undergo random audits to ensure that every crate that ships out of here meets NeLMA standards.”
In addition to customized crates and packages, Boston Pack and Ship employs foam-in-place technology to ensure the safe shipment of products for both commercial and residential customers. Products being shipped can range from medical equipment and computer servers to delicate artwork and grandfather clocks.
Boston Pack and Ship offers multiple U.S. shipping options including ground and air delivery to a terminal for pickup or inside delivery. International options include air or ocean with door-to-door or door-to-port delivery. Full declared value is available on both domestic and international shipments.

Boston Movers-For Boston Pack and Ship, It?s a Matter of Trusts (and Estates)
For Boston Pack and Ship, It?s a Matter of Trusts (and Estates)
DATELINE: BRAINTREE, MA…
Boston Pack and Ship specializes in shipments of less than 1,000 pounds, parameters that can cover many of the things found in an estate—e.g. pianos, furniture, antiques, paintings and artwork, glass figures, etc. Part one of the service Boston Pack and Ship offers executors is pickup of items for delivery. Since they’re locally based in Braintree, Mass., Boston Pack and Ship can go to the estate and safely and securely pack all the items for shipping onto their trucks.
“Many people lose sight that shipping an item to somebody across the country or even out of the country is a two-step process: getting it to the shipper and the shipper sending it out. By handling both ends of that process, we save executors a major headache and ensure the safe transport of the item to be delivered,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship.
To safely ship such a wide range of items, Boston Pack and Ship builds customized packages and crates and employ foam-in-place technology to secure older, more delicate items. Tailoring these containers exactly to the dimensions of the shipment dramatically reduces the possibility of damage during shipping.
“You can get the proper amount of insurance monetarily but we’ve found the best insurance is the packing, especially for those personal, irreplaceable items,” said Fell. “The same guys at Boston Pack and Ship who pick up the items from the estate are the ones creating the customized package for your shipment, so they understand the delicate nature of your shipment and that’s not always the case with other shippers.”
Boston Pack and Ship offers multiple U.S. shipping options including ground and air delivery to a terminal for pickup or inside delivery. International options include air or ocean with door-to-door or door-to-port delivery. Full-declared value is available on both domestic and international shipments. Pick-up of items to be packed and shipped for delivery is made by appointment.

Boston Movers-Boston Pack and Ship Proves Beyond a Reasonable Doubt it Can Store and Ship Key Evidence Securely and in a Timely Fashion
Boston Pack and Ship Proves Beyond a Reasonable Doubt it Can Store and Ship Key Evidence Securely and in a Timely Fashion
Many times, law firms turn to Boston Pack and Ship, small load packing and shipping specialists for the past two decades, to both store and ship critical pieces of evidence.
“When you think of trials and key pieces of evidence, we all think of fingerprints, DNA and other microscopic stuff. In reality, evidence comes in all shapes and sizes, particularly for personal injury and civil cases, and it’s not always in a size or condition that’s conducive to shipping. That really puts the pressure on us to make sure it gets to the courthouse in the same shape it leaves here,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship.
To accommodate delicate items and awkward sized items, Boston Pack and ship offers customized packaging and crate-building services. They also employ foam-in-place technology to ship more delicate items. This involves using a high-strength film to protect the item you’re shipping, which is then “locked” in place with a foam spray, essentially creating a customized encasing that prevents movement of any kind and securing the shipment.
That kind of stability is critical when shipping key pieces of evidence. Though confidentiality rules prevent them from naming names, Boston Pack and Ship has had to ship a number of unorthodox items for court cases. That includes a full-size window, a lawn mower and some sports memorabilia.
“That was kind of neat because we had to meet the FBI to pick up the basketballs, footballs, jerseys and other sports memorabilia. They came back to our warehouse, watched us pack everything up. The agent left after everything was secured in unmarked boxes and picked up by the air freight carrier at our loading dock,” said Fell.
In addition, Boston Pack and Ship also offers temporary storage space for evidence. Their facility is secure, climate-controlled facility and conveniently located in Braintree, Mass. While other storage facilities charge you a flat rate for a specific size storage room, Boston Pack and Ship only charges for the space you use. Boston Pack and Ship is also licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety, which requires a thorough background check and a bond to be put up by the business in order to issue a warehouseman’s license.
Boston Pack and Ship offers multiple U.S. shipping options including ground, air, and delivery to a terminal for pickup or inside delivery. International options include air or ocean with door-to-door or door-to-port delivery. Full declared value is available on both domestic and international shipments. Pick-up of items to be packed and shipped for delivery is made by appointment.

Boston Movers-Destined for Crate-ness! Boston Pack and Ship Creates Niche With Customized Crates for Smaller Shipments
Destined for Crate-ness! Boston Pack and Ship Creates Niche With Customized Crates for Smaller Shipments
There’s the old expression “good things come in small packages”. At Boston Pack and Ship, a small load packing and shipping specialist for the past two decades, “good things happen with small shipments. Particularly when it comes to building customized crates for awkward-sized items.
“Most manufacturers ship items in bulk, even if it’s 1,000-lb. item. Very rarely do you see a shipment of one or two pieces. So, when companies have one or two items of that size to be shipped, it requires a customized crate to be built. That’s our forte,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship.
Building the crate is sometimes only half the job. For larger, more awkward-sized items, an onsite trip is required to measure the piece to be shipped to give a more accurate estimate. In most cases, Boston Pack and Ship’s staff will pick up the item for shipping and bring it back to the warehouse to build the crate.
“We build all our customized crates on site here in our workshop. Many times, the Boston Pack and Ship pick-up crew are the ones building the crate. That can make a big difference because the person building the crate has a better idea of the fragility of the shipment,” adds Fell.
For more fragile items, Boston Pack and Ship employs foam-in-place technology or closed cell foam to keep the item from moving within the crate during shipping. These technologies essentially create a casing for the item being shipped, which can be used again and again should the item need to be re-shipped to multiple locations.
Boston Pack and Ship serves both commercial and residential customers. Products being shipped can range from medical equipment and computer servers to delicate artwork and grandfather clocks. Typically, these items are of high monetary and/or sentimental value with a timely arrival being every bit as important as a safe arrival. Case in point, Boston Pack and Ship built a custom crate for a local artist’s large iron sculpture of an eagle commemorating the crash of Flight 93 on Sept 11.
Boston Pack and Ship offers multiple U.S. shipping options including ground and air delivery to a terminal for pickup or inside delivery. International options include air or ocean with door-to-door or door-to-port delivery. Full declared value is available on both domestic and international shipments. Pick-up of items to be packed and shipped for delivery is made by appointment.
