We specialize in properly packaging fragile and high-value items, including antiques, art, electronics, crystal, china and porcelain.

Custom Packaging
Large or odd-shaped items often require specialized packaging. The Mailbox can build a custom box for you should your item be of unusual size or shape.

For maximum protection of antiques, fragile items and odd-sized pieces, we may recommend custom crating. We will securely protect each item and insert proper cushioning to prevent damage or shifting during shipment. Then we build a custom crate around it. Call us to inquire about our freight services.
