These tall, carefully constructed timepieces contain sensitive mechanical parts, hanging weights, pendulums, glass panels, and finished wood surfaces that can be damaged if the clock is not properly prepared for transportation. Whether you are relocating, passing down a family heirloom, selling a clock to a collector, or sending an antique to an auction house, professional packing and shipping can help protect it throughout the journey.

Furniture shipping is rarely one-size-fits-all. A boxed chair is very different from a marble-top table or a carved antique cabinet. The way an item is packed, protected, and shipped depends on its size, materials, value, and destination.

Pak Mail works with both residential and commercial customers to ship furniture safely, whether it is moving across the state, across the country, or internationally. The key is understanding what each item requires before it ever leaves the pickup location.
