A Furniture Shipping Breakdown: Plan Before You Ship
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.
