Custom Packing & shipping large, fragile, awkward or valuable items
Your Custom Packing Experts
The Shipping Place can pack almost anything and ship it almost anywhere. Packing is half science and half art. Working with small, non-fragile items is fairly simple, but when you have fragile, large, awkward, or valuable items, it is a good idea to rely on the professionals at The Shipping Place to make sure they are packed the right way.
Suppose you want to ship a large print that’s framed 2 inches deep with glass over the top. To pack it yourself, you would need 1, 2 or 4 foot wide bubble wrap, glass tape, rigid Styrofoam, stretch wrap, Styrofoam peanuts and a picture frame box – not to mention a good deal of time and patience. Don’t worry! Make it easy on yourself and let The Shipping Place do the packing for you! We have all the needed packing items, and the training and experience to ensure your items are properly packed and protected for their journey. Take a look at some of the things we’ve shipped.

When it comes to packing, there are no second chances – once an item arrives broken at its destination, it’s too late. This is our ultimate challenge at The Shipping Place and we are proud to meet it. Our skills are put to the test every day by items that require our years of experience and knowledge to be packed correctly.
We think about our customers’ costs, too. For example, a customer recently came in to ship a box of baby clothes to a family member. They brought in a big box which we determined would cost about $90 to ship to its final destination. Needless to say, the customer was surprised and not very happy with that! We could tell that the box was not full and asked whether we could open the box to see if we could reduce the cost of shipping. By simply cutting down the size of the box, we reduced their shipping cost by approximately 40% and met our goal of making our customer happy.
While savings of this type can’t be accomplished every time, the pros at The Shipping Place will always do their best to help you make the best packing and shipping decisions.
