In the world of professional relocation and cargo transport, the term “full-service” is often used but rarely fully realized. Packing Service Inc. (PSI), established in 2003, has built its twenty-plus-year reputation by providing a truly comprehensive, nationwide solution for on-site packing and shipping. While many companies focus on the “moving” aspect, PSI specializes in the critical technical preparation that ensures a shipment’s survival, regardless of its destination.
A Nationwide Network of On-Site Experts
The hallmark of Packing Service Inc. is its commitment to On-Site Services. Unlike traditional shipping models that require customers to transport their items to a retail storefront or a busy terminal, PSI brings the terminal to the customer. Operating across all 50 states, their professional teams arrive at residential or commercial locations equipped with industrial-grade materials to handle the entire logistics process in situ.
This mobile service model is designed for:
- Large-Scale Estates: Managing the packing of entire households with precision.
- Business Liquidations: Securing office furniture, IT infrastructure, and sensitive equipment.
- Industrial Transport: Handling heavy machinery that cannot be moved without professional rigging and palletizing.
The Five Pillars of Service
PSI has organized its business into five distinct categories that cover every phase of the shipping lifecycle:
- Professional Packing: Utilizing high-quality materials to wrap and box items, focusing on internal security to prevent movement during transit.
- Custom Crating: For high-value, fragile, or heavy items, PSI builds wooden enclosures on-site that meet international ISPM 15 standards.
- Palletizing: Creating stable “unit loads” for freight shipping, ensuring that goods are balanced, wrapped, and ready for forklift handling.
- Loading and Unloading: Providing the skilled labor to maximize space in rental trucks or storage containers while maintaining a safe center of gravity.
- Nationwide Shipping: Acting as a logistics coordinator to find the most efficient and reliable carrier for any size load, from single items to full truckloads.
Accountability Through the “One-Stop-Shop” Model
One of the primary pain points in the moving industry is the fragmentation of responsibility. If a crate breaks, the mover blames the packer; the packer blames the carrier. PSI eliminates this friction by offering a single point of contact. Because they manage the packing, the crating, and the shipping coordination, they maintain a high level of accountability. This “One-Stop-Shop” approach is backed by their flat-rate quote system, which provides customers with financial predictability in an industry often plagued by hidden fees.
