Antique Shipping
Shipping an heirloom, a centuries-old timepiece, or a delicate piece of history requires more than a standard box and tape. Antiques are often irreplaceable, and their age makes them vulnerable to the stresses of transit. At Ship-N-Go, we specialize in the technical requirements of antique shipping to ensure your items arrive in their original condition.
Trust Your Valuables to Professional Packing Experts
Meeting Industry Shipping Standards
Major carriers like UPS, FedEx, DHL, and the USPS require packages to withstand a 4-foot drop to be eligible for insurance claims. Our staff is trained to meet and exceed these rigorous standards. We understand the specific structural weaknesses of aged materials—whether it is brittle wood, delicate ceramics, or antique paper—and apply the appropriate cushioning to mitigate risk.
Specialized Materials and Techniques
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach for historical items. Our shop is equipped with professional-grade supplies to protect your investment:
-
Custom-Sized Containers: Eliminating excess movement within the box.
-
Multi-Layer Cushioning: Using high-density bubble wrap and anti-static packing peanuts.
-
Double-Wall Reinforcement: Added structural integrity for heavier antique furniture or equipment.
-
Insurability Guarantee: When our professionals pack your items, we guarantee they meet carrier requirements for insurance coverage.
Proven Experience with Diverse Items
From family heirlooms like a vintage sewing table to rare collectibles like a Ming Dynasty vase, we provide the specialized care these items deserve. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the history of the piece rather than the stress of the move.
Bring your antiques to the experts at Ship-N-Go. We will assess the item’s dimensions and fragility to provide a secure, professional shipping solution.
