Under the best of circumstances, moving an elderly parent from their home into an assisted living or even just a smaller residence can be trying. 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.
