Packing Antiques at New England Pack & Ship

Expert Care for Extra Special Items

Grandma’s sewing table, a 200 year-old grandfather clock, a Ming Dynasty vase, midcentury modern furniture... you get it; "old" stuff otherwise called antiques. Most of us gift, receive or sell antiques at some point in our lives, but if you don’t know the tricks behind antique shipping, it may lead to disaster.

Did you know that anything shipped via UPS, FedEx, DHL or the US Postal Service must be packed well enough to sustain a four foot drop without breaking?  That requires the right size box with the correct amount of padding for all shipments - not just the fragile items.

The staff at New England Pack & Ship are expertly trained in all aspects of packaging, and we specialize in packing and shipping artwork and antique items. We have all standard box sizes, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, tape, and other tools and materials that allow us to pack and ship your antiques to withstand any abuse the carriers might ‘throw’ at them. And if we don't have a box for it, we'll build one!  When NEPS packs an item for you, we guarantee it for insurability.

We are proud to work with several of the largest auction houses in New England.  Have you made a recent auction purchase online and need it picked up, packaged and shipped? NEPS can handle it. Our staff procures furniture, artwork, and antiques daily, carefully wrapping them for travel back to our warehouse before a much more extensive packing process.
