Boston Pack and Ship Proves Beyond a Reasonable Doubt it Can Store and Ship Key Evidence Securely and in a Timely Fashion

Many times, law firms turn to Boston Pack and Ship, small load packing and shipping specialists for the past two decades, to both store and ship critical pieces of evidence.

â€œWhen you think of trials and key pieces of evidence, we all think of fingerprints, DNA and other microscopic stuff. In reality, evidence comes in all shapes and sizes, particularly for personal injury and civil cases, and itâ€™s not always in a size or condition thatâ€™s conducive to shipping. That really puts the pressure on us to make sure it gets to the courthouse in the same shape it leaves here,â€ said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship.

To accommodate delicate items and awkward sized items, Boston Pack and ship offers customized packaging and crate-building services. They also employ foam-in-place technology to ship more delicate items. This involves using a high-strength film to protect the item youâ€™re shipping, which is then â€œlockedâ€ in place with a foam spray, essentially creating a customized encasing that prevents movement of any kind and securing the shipment.

That kind of stability is critical when shipping key pieces of evidence. Though confidentiality rules prevent them from naming names, Boston Pack and Ship has had to ship a number of unorthodox items for court cases. That includes a full-size window, a lawn mower and some sports memorabilia.

â€œThat was kind of neat because we had to meet the FBI to pick up the basketballs, footballs, jerseys and other sports memorabilia. They came back to our warehouse, watched us pack everything up. The agent left after everything was secured in unmarked boxes and picked up by the air freight carrier at our loading dock,â€ said Fell.

In addition, Boston Pack and Ship also offers temporary storage space for evidence. Their facility is secure, climate-controlled facility and conveniently located in Braintree, Mass. While other storage facilities charge you a flat rate for a specific size storage room, Boston Pack and Ship only charges for the space you use. Boston Pack and Ship is also licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety, which requires a thorough background check and a bond to be put up by the business in order to issue a warehousemanâ€™s license.

Boston Pack and Ship offers multiple U.S. shipping options including ground, air, and delivery to a terminal for pickup or inside delivery. International options include air or ocean with door-to-door or door-to-port delivery. Full declared value is available on both domestic and international shipments. Pick-up of items to be packed and shipped for delivery is made by appointment.
