About this listing

Porters Pack & Ship is a pack and ship store in Mount Vernon, New York, the kind of counter that will crate a painting, box an engine part or palletise the contents of a garage. Packing is the actual trade here, which matters more than it sounds: a carrier will decline a damage claim on anything it decides was badly packed. Stores like this normally rent mailboxes too, and are often the cheapest private mailbox in a town where the alternative is a franchise storefront.

Packs the awkward things and ships them: art, instruments, engine parts, crated freight. Usually rents mailboxes too, and usually the cheapest box in town.

Ask at the counter

Ask what they charge to pack, separately from what they charge to ship. Carriers routinely refuse damage claims on anything they judge was badly packed, and this is the counter that owns that risk.
Ask about freight and pallets if the item is over about seventy pounds. This is usually where a local store beats an online quote.
Ask about the box rate. Independent pack-and-ship stores are often the cheapest private mailbox in a town.
