This is a Yap stone (stone currency) that we shipped to Germany. Due to the weight, 54 pounds, and the value, over $2,000, we had to crate it for transport. For the shipment the customer chose UPS, but we can ship via DHL, FedEx, or USPS. Stop in or call for an estimate, whether domestic or international!

This is a unique mirror that a customer brought in for us to pack and ship. We used glass mask to protect the glass from damage in transit, then put cardboard on each side, wrapped in plastic. It was floated in a box with two inches of peanuts on each side. We can double box or crate larger mirrors if necessary. Stop in or call for an estimate!

This is a wood carved carousel horse that we are shipping all the way to New York! Due to its size and value, we double boxed it so it has plenty of cushion in transit. This is from the end of the 19th century, so it has wear to it, and we want it to arrive in its current condition. Our packer made two custom boxes out of double corrugated cardboard for this. We specialize in carefully packing and shipping antiques!

Today we are shipping a hot water kettle from the 1850’s, which is still in excellent condition. The spigot is ivory, so there are shipping restrictions for certain states. Bring in your antiques and we will pack them with care!
