FAQs

Custom Fragile Shipping Process

When handling fragile assets, our packaging professionals inspect the items being shipped to evaluate packing, cushioning, and crating needs. Our services are different because we don’t simply place your item in a prefabricated box. We understand the hazards of the shipping process and pack and crate the item in the best way possible to ensure safe and stable transport.
