Glass Chandelier Cradle, Crate Pack and Ship
Chandelier Shipping
Packing and shipping a large 350 lb Chandelier takes expertise and a lot of work. This Chandelier was purchased from My Sisters Attic, a consignment store in Chandler, Arizona.

This valuable chandelier was purchased online and needed to be shipped to its new owner in California. We were tasked with picking up, packing, bracing and crating the chandelier to arrive safely.

This is no easy task but was accomplished though mapping out the steps in the logistics chain necessary to make this a success. First, how to transport the Chandelier from the consignment store to the Gateway warehouse?

The first picture on the top right shows a half constructed cradle. We did this to allow easy transfer from the store support into the crate support. If the cradle had been fully assembled the pickup crew would have had to lift the 350 lbs item up and over the supports. 

By only constructing half of the cradle it allowed the crew to move the chandelier onto the cradle bar and into the crate without lifting high. Once the chandelier was placed on the middle bar the crew then assembled the back part of the cradle around the light to support it during transit.

When moving a chandelier there is always a risk of the crystal strings falling. It is important to provide some support to each level of strings to minimize the bounce and vibration that causes them to fall off.

We take great pride in designing a method of safely shipping fragile pieces like this chandelier. We custom design our crates to work best for the item that is being transported. The cradle design and the box crate construction was ideal for packing and shipping this item.

Before designing the packing for anything its important to know HOW an item is going to ship. Is it going, like this item, to a persons house where the item will need to be delivered on a lift gate and rolled into the garage for later removal?  

If you purchase something big, valuable and fragile make sure you know exactly what you need when it comes to packing, crating and shipping. We can give you a quote and discuss your options for free.

Fiesta ware Pack and Ship
Fiesta ware packing
This collection of colorful plates and pitchers is known as fiesta ware because of its bright colors. The owner is very fond of this collection and did not want anything damaged.

We took great care in packing this collection. Our process included bubble wrapping each individual plate. The plates where then grouped and wrapped again. These bubble wrapped groups were then wrapped in paper and the groups seperated from each other.

These boxes were then placed in another box with 2" of styrofoam peanuts to protect them. This small dishware collection became a pretty big shipment since the double boxes were 30X30X30.

This method protected the fragile and valuable dishes from cracking or breaking during tranportation. 
Glassware Pack and Ship
Glassware pack and ship
We picked up, packed and shipped the glass items. The owner did not want anything to happen to any of the glass pieces for her move back to the mid west. Although she moved most of her furniture and household goods in a moving van herself. For her valuable china and glassware however, she wanted to have them professionally packed and shipped to ensure they would arrive in good condition.

Everything got to her in perfect condition. 75 pieces of glassware and china were packed boxed and shipped by Gateway Crate and Freight.
We used a combination of small bubble wrapped in large bubble with paper fill and double boxed. The double boxed method is when we can tightly pack one box and then put that box in another box that has about 2" of Styrofoam peanuts between to protect the inner box.

This method protects it from transportation vibration and some dropping or even another object puncturing the outer box and not being able to make contact with the items inside the inner box.

Each packing and shipping job is unique and different packing methods and materials are utilized based on the type of transportation the packing will need to endure. We take these factors into consideration when packing and shipping fine china and valuable glassware for our customers.

Waterford Crystal
Crystal Pack and Ship
Our May shipment of the month was a household goods move that consisted of a valuable collection of Waterford Crystal, fragile china and glassware pieces that needed extra protection for shipping over 1000 miles.

Gateway Crate and Freight has packaged a number of valuable glassware items for residential customers. Utilizing quality packing materials we protected these valuable items by custom making dividers and double boxing the wrapped fragile dishware.

When you pack and ship fragile glass and dishware especially with other household goods it is important to ensure the items are packed well and appropriately positioned in the load to ensure the most protection. 

A large piece collection such as this takes a lot of time to pack correctly, but when the pieces are valuable the packing is the most important step in the process. This particular shipment we just double boxed but for other people boxing and then crating the items help protect the collection even more.

Large household goods moves are best handled by professional moving companies, but when you only are moving a few "Special" items like dishware, an antique table and desk or a couple small furniture items a pack and ship option maybe the most economical for you and it also gives you the ability to have things packed well.

If you have expensive glass ware or dishware and you want to protect it during a move or shipping you should have it professionally packaged. This client was "extremely happy we chose Gateway Crate and Freight to handle our shipment".
