Tired of trying to figure how to pack that special item so it arrives in one piece? You have to find the right box size, then hunt down the bubble-wrap, peanuts, tape, etc. It’s time consuming, expensive, and a major inconvenience (and you may not pack it properly).

Proper packing is both a science and an art. We strongly recommend that you let our staff professionally pack and ship your fragile, valuable, large, and awkward items-we treat them as if they were ours. We stock over 40 box sizes and keep plenty of styrofoam peanuts, air bags, bubble-wrap, tape, specialty boxes (artwork, laptops, double-wall, etc.) and other packing materials on hand. We can even custom-make a box or a wood crate for those elk antlers or car bumpers.

And our “Packed to Perfection” guarantee gives you peace of mind to know that your items are packed to meet or exceed all carrier requirements. If we pack & ship your package, and it arrives broken, you are covered.

PDQ has plenty of experience packing and shipping very fragile and valuable items. We are a preferred shipper for Clarke Auctions (www.clarkeny.com) and for Charlton Rose Fine Art (www.charltonrosefineart.org).We have quoted and shipped many items from local auctions and understand the logistics of working with the auction houses to quote, pick up, pack and ship what you have won at auction.

We recently packed and shipped an antique Indian rudraveena (68" long - see below) to a collector in Seattle, and the recipient (www.rudraveena.org) told us "I'm happy to let you know that everything made it safely. In fact, that was the best packing job I've ever seen!  You really know how to do it right. Thank you very, very much."

Big or small, we pack it all!
