Packing expensive cups

I was just asked how to pack some expensive china cups. This was my suggestion. Hope it might help others.
As a rule of thumb just don’t make the boxes too heavy that you cant lift them…
Re the espresso cups, buy a roll of the small bubble, bubble wrap. Make up your carton and screw up paper and drop down the bottom of the box so you have some nice padding all over the bottom of the box, the more the better.
Then take some paper towel and roll the cup on the towel so it covers it, stick the ends in the cup so its full of towel. Then do this againwith bubble wrap so you have about 4 thicknesses of bubble round the cup, Fold bubble over top and bottom of cup and tape up. It should now be like a bubble ball ready to place in your box. If you dropped it now it shouldn’t break (but don’t try it lol)
Once all packed up if there is still room in box add towels, bedding etc (you could also put some at the bottom) load up to the top, you can also add crushed up paper and more bubble and once box is full and tight, no air in it tape it up well !
Hope that makes sense, if not call me and I’ll explain.
Cheers & Happy Packing !

Kind words from a happy customer!

We just would like to say thank you very much for an excellent service from all of you.  The move for us from the US to UK has been very smooth and with all your help and constant communications, we’re very much aware of where and how are goods are doing.

You’re all very helpful as well when dealing with customs queries and we can honestly say our goods have all arrived in the UK in full and intact and the boxes are in very good condition same as it left the US.

I would highly recommend your company to anyone who ask me relocating from the US or from UK.  Will definitely use again.

Thanks very much and very glad we decided to use your company.

Best Regards,
Marco and Jocelyn Escutin

A “No Hassle” Compliment

Mark,

Thank you very much for your estimate. That is all information I need at the moment. I let you know if I have any further question.
A special thanks for not harassing me with a gazillion mails and phone but just giving me a clear estimate of the anticipated costs.

Thanks,
Gunnar

International Shipping is what do best!18 June 2011

Dear Jennifer,

I am very happy to convey to you once more how delighted I was with your service during my move. This appreciation extends to the superb efforts of Mark and Chris (Corder) in moving my goods from PA to France.  When Mark told me that Chris would take care of “getting the ball rolling”, Chris did.  And when Chris told me that you would take care of me at the receiving end, you did. And when you told me that my shipment would arrive in Gondrecourt on Wed 25 May at 9 am, IT DID!

I can say no more. Thank you very much,

Steve Lupone
