Pak Mail Kentwood loves a good shipping challenge. We can pack, crate, and ship pretty much anything you can think of. So if you have some difficult or “impossible” to ship items, bring them to us and let us suprise you.

Have a heavy shipment that requires special handling? Just like these industrial tool holders, we can pick up your items and make sure they arrive safely. No reason for you to sweat the details, just leave that in our hands and we’ll take the burden from you. Call us today at 616-803-5531!

We launched a new location in Kentwood right across the street from Chick-fil-a on M6 and Kalamazoo and we made some adjustments in our stores to give this one some time to grow and develop. So in the meantime we are running all of our large shipments and freight from this location. We have been connecting with a few Estate sale companies that host online auctions and then need to have items shipped around the country and even around the world on occasion. What we often will do is travel out to the estate location and transport these items back to our store where we can properly wrap them for shipment. The items range from paintings, to dishes, to silverware, knick knacks, china, books and all kinds of other household items. We carefully transport them in various containers that we bring along for the purpose of taking them back to our facilities and then often package them in completely different containers and boxes to be shipped to the different customers. We had a huge pickup the other day that filled our Kentwood store and we have been working through all the different shipments and shipping these items out this past week.

Pak Mail Kentwood offer on-site crating services. So if your items are too large to bring to us, we will come to you. Here are some items we recently crated for a local Grand Rapids die cast machining company.

That’s right. Pak Mail Kentwood ships electronics of all kinds. We ship brand new state of the art sound systems, computers, tv’s, laptops, medical equipment and more. Oh, and let’s not forget the classic old school monster stereo equipment we all love to listen to.

We are the preferred movers for Windsor Cottage, a furniture consignment store, in Grand Rapids. We moved a tremendous amount of furniture for them in 2018 and have earned the trust of many families in the area because of it. We moved a load of furniture from their two locations  (Thornapple and Cherry) to a beautiful mansion in the Heritage Hill area in December and they were so impressed they requested us to move a very important addition to their new home………a chandelier valued at over $30k when it was brand new.

Windsor Cottage introduced us to a Cascade furniture store they work with called Portobello Road. They sell new furniture but were consigning this chandelier for one of their clients as a favor. Rick Santamaria who owns Windsor Cottage suggested this signature crystal chandelier that is 5 ft tall and 3 ft wide and we estimate weighs about 150-175 lbs for their dining room.  They loved it and made arrangements for the transfer to their home.

In preparations we made two separate trips to Portobello for measurements and assessments, built a 6 ft tall, 4 ft wide crate-like structure with casters for transport and created a 7 ft lift bar with handles to navigate movement and installation. We brought a large bag along to wrap it for protection in case any pieces fell off during transport and to protect it from weather and other exterior threats. We then used foam and air bubbles to pad and protect it.  Our plan worked flawlessly.  We had a few challenges during installation but worked closely with their contracted electricians from DeWeerd and VanDyke Electrical and Plumbing to problem solve and overcome. The customers were ecstatic with the results and impressed with how calm we all were in the process of this project. Check out the pics of this move and look for this mansion to be included in the Annual Heritage Hill Home Tour 2019 coming in May 2019.
