SERVICES Shipping Carriers We'll help you select the one that makes the most sense Same day or next day delivery service? Overnight or express mail? Deferred air or expedited ground service? HUH?!? If you don't understand all the different types of shipping carriers, it's okay. Most people don't. However, we do and we'll help you figure out what you need by asking all the right questions. Important questions like "Do you need it there today, tomorrow or next week? Does it need to be kept cold? is it fragile? is it alive?" etc. We aren't being nosy, we just want to make sure that your rare Venetian fern plant isn't shipped on a truck that will take two months to get there. And speaking of our carriers, we use only the best and most experienced in the business. From UPS and Federal Express to DHL and Honolulu Freight. We carefully select the right carrier for your shipment. Custom Packaging Let the experts do the work You can't go to some school and completely master the art of custom packaging. But Pak Mail training comes close. And, of course, we do involve the use of general packaging principles and good common sense. Simply put, if it can be broken, we'll cushion it. If it can be scratched, we'll wrap it. If it's frozen, we'll make sure it stays frozen. We will always package your shipment for the worst contingency. When would you use custom packaging? Whenever you're sending something that needs special attention. For example, you've just inherited your late Aunt Betty's antique china hutch. Beautiful woodwork, intricate carvings, elegant finish -- it's absolutely gorgeous and you would never part with it. But, your house is 1,500 miles away. How are you ever going to be able to enjoy Aunt Betty's china hutch in your own home? Simple, use Pak Mail's custom packaging services. We'll carefully wrap, package, crate and ship her antique hutch so you can enjoy it in the comfort of your home the way she intended, and you won't even break a sweat. Another great time for custom packaging is when you're sending your kids off to college (or worse yet, there're moving back home.) It is only then you will realize how much stuff there really is to send. A mountain bike, computer, TV stereo -- a seemingly insurmountable task. Not so with Pak Mail's custom packaging service. We will see to it that each individual item is carefully packaged so it gets to where it's going in one piece. Packaging & Moving Supplies We're the one-stop shop for everthing you'll need Moving can be hard enough without having to run all over town pulling everything together you're going to need to pack. That's why we have it all. At Pak Mail you'll find hundreds of the most commonly needed box sizes right in the store. (No more scrounging through every dumpster in town for boxes.) Also, we have odd-sized envelope, mailing tubes, manila mailers and padded envelopes for any of you other mailing needs. And, if for some reason we don't have the exact size box or mailer you need, we can special order it or build it to your specifications. If you're a do-it-yourself packer, we've got everything you'll need (and then some). We offer the best prices around on packaging tape in addition to: Styrofoam peanuts, mover's wrap, bubble wrap, giant foam sheets, tape guns, and many other moving necessities. We also offer a "Mover's Guide to Buying Boxes" so you'll have an idea of the sizes and how many boxes you're likely to need. And hey, we'll even give you free advice on packing. Crating & Furniture Shipping Remember our motto: We Ship Anything, Anywhere At some point in your life you will have to move or ship something that is large, bulky, heavy, or simply too fragile to be packaged using conventional methods. Whether it's a large sculpture, a motorcycle or a favorite old sofa, call us. We're experts when it comes to this kind of specialty shipping. We'll help you decide on the best way to package or crate your shipment as well as figure out the most efficient way to get it where it's going -- safely and on time!
