Professional packing

If it's fragile, oversized, or oddly shaped — we pack it.

Glass, art, instruments, kayaks, family heirlooms, estate sales, eBay sales. Bring it in and we'll measure, cut, brace, and ship it. Because we pack it professionally, your shipment meets the carrier's packaging requirements — so if anything happens, your declared-value claim stands a much better chance.

Walk-ins welcome — we're at 5114 Point Fosdick Dr, Ste F (next to Dairy Queen).

Why pay a pro
Packed to survive — and to stay insurable.

Carriers can deny a declared-value claim when packaging isn't up to their standard. Professional packing keeps your shipment eligible — the real reason to use us for anything you'd be sad to break.

What we pack

We've seen it, we've packed it, we've shipped it.

🪞

Fragile

Glass, ceramics, art, lamps, mirrors, electronics, family heirlooms. Double-boxed, foam-wrapped, cushioned with at least 2 inches on every side. We pack it like it's going to get tossed — because it will.

📐

Oversized

Bicycles, kayaks, framed art, tabletops, large appliances, golf clubs. Custom-cut boxes, reinforced corners, weight-rated handles. We handle anything that won't fit in a flat-rate box.

🧩

Odd-shaped

Statues, instruments, antlers, sports gear, surfboards. We measure, cut, and brace to fit — no jamming things into wrong-sized boxes.

📦

Multi-piece sets

Selling a dining set on eBay? Moving Grandma's china? Sending care packages overseas? We pack everything together safely with proper layering and inventory.

💍

High-value

Jewelry, collectibles, signed memorabilia. We use tamper-evident packaging, recommend insurance levels, and ship with signature confirmation.

🌬️

Temperature-sensitive

Wine, chocolate, candles in summer, plants, perishables. Insulated boxes, gel packs or dry ice (where carrier allows), expedited service.

How it works

Four steps, usually done same day.

01

Bring it in or call ahead

Walk in any time during shop hours, or call us first if it's oversized or unusual so we can pre-stage materials.

02

We measure + quote

On-the-spot estimate covering packing materials, labor, and your choice of carrier (UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL).

03

We pack it right

Done while you wait for most items. Bigger jobs we'll have ready by end of day or next morning.

04

Ships out same day

Most jobs go out the day they're packed. We hand them to the carrier at their daily pickup or drop them at the regional hub.

Have something to ship?

Bring it in or call us first.

FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

Do I need to bring my own box?
Nope. We stock every box size and we'd rather build one for your exact item than have you cram it into the wrong one. Standard sizes, oversized, custom-cut — whatever fits.
What's 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 wasn't 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. That's the real value: packing that holds up.
How much does it cost?
Depends on size, fragility, and materials. A standard 12×12×12 fragile pack runs around $15-30 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'll walk you through what's allowed at the destination country.
Will my item be insured?
Every shipment includes the carrier's baseline coverage (usually $100 declared value). For higher-value items we'll recommend declared-value coverage — about $1 per $100 of value, capped at the carrier's max. Because we pack it professionally, your shipment meets the carrier's packaging requirements, so a claim is far more likely to be honored — coverage is the carrier's, under its terms.
What if I don't know what it costs to ship?
Drop in or call with rough dimensions and weight. We'll quote both the pack AND the shipping in one go so there's no surprises.
