Automotive Parts Shipped



 And here is the steps taken to pack and box these items. Each item must be inspected for quality and quanity before we begin and next we must wrap, protect & wrap every item then put them together to size our initial dimensions for the construction our the cardboard box. One we get our measurments we begin the task of building the box. Now finished with that we put the items into the box and try to figure the best and safest way to secure the items into the box. As you may see we just opted for three cardboard straps to keep everything in place. This will cut down on the final shipping weight and also the items for a total weight was only 76 lbs. allowing us to use as little packing as possible because the items do not weigh enough to require us to secure it more effectively. Since also there is only one way this can ship (As Shown). While we don't have to worry about it being tossed around because it is over six feet long and four feet wide, with a height of more than two feet. Pretty big box!

Packing, Boxing


This is a display set that a long time client needs to ship. First he must know that the items are packed properly. Although you cannot see the items they are in there and will be protected during the shipping process because of the double-walled box to the packing popcorn that will keep the items from shifting too much while in transit.

Palletizing Shipment

   Well folks, Here we have two sets of tires and a set of weights.  We needed to try to fit all of this on one pallet and make use of every square inch we could. The bigger tires were put on the bottom and the smaller tires were out on top and all of that was banded together. Next we had to secure the weights to the pallet to keep them from sliding off of the pallet during shipping. After all of that we added the bars to the top and side and black wrapped all of that as one whole piece. It did come out to 844 lbs. This is in the staging area waiting for shipping as soon as possible.

Very Fine Art























A very good day to all of you! What we have here is our latest piece of art(which I love to do). This painting will only be boxed due in part that we will be delivering the item personally and the added shipping protection will not be needed so we therefore can just simply pack it with two layers of cardboard and bubble wrap on the corners, with pads of wrap in the center runners of the frame to protect against the edges of the walls from collapsing on to the frame. The reason why I do enjoy packing or crating fine art is that in my lifetime I may never get the opportunity to see but a fraction of the art in this world but here I see art pieces on a weekly basis and I must admit that to view these pieces as close as I do I can see things that may not be noticed in an art gallery or museum. Appreciation of art in the first place makes this job all the more enjoyable since every piece that comes through here are one of a kind or series that run like, #3 of 50. So awesome! The most rewarding job ever!!!

Antique Chairs


And here we have a six-pack of wood - white wash chairs. Very rustic look to them and fitted with newer cushions. These are not of the value of the last chair and ottoman set we did so the packing and shipping procedures are abit different. These are to be boxed in double corrugated cardboard that offers a double wall of protection to the items. This is only after we cover the cushions with plastic bags and furniture wrap the items and finish it all off with shrink wrap to keep everything held together. These items are actually apart of a bigger job and will be fitted to a pallet much later after we receive the remaining pieces to this shipment. Once we get everything boxed and set together then we can see how it will fit on a pallet or if we need to build a pallet to the items.

    High Value Pieces


    Well here is the chair and ottoman set that I described in my last blog. This is wood and a very fine leather. Note the pad that is attached to every leg prior to further steps, it is very important that the legs do not become chipped by handling by our staff. The next step is to wrap the piece in a moisture seal foam(not shown) that will protect against dampness while allowing the piece to breathe during its journey. Following that is to shrink wrap everything to the piece to keep our outer layer of protection in place(were not done). Following this is the fitting of the ottoman into the scheme of things, for maximum use of space without over using materials and resources. Once we have found where we are to place the ottoman we begin the protection of this piece with furniture wrap and shrink wrap. Once we have an estimate of the measurement we prepare a skid for the pieces and lay the foundation of our crate. Now that is done we secure the pieces in as to lock it in so it will not be able to shift around while not damaging the upholstery that is on the pieces. From there the crate walls are built and fitted and more blocking & bracing in added to further ensure a secure item within. With that we cap it and seal the crate and stage it for shipping. Interested? Give us a call 951,970.6908
