Barry the owner is such a great guy and was so helpful. Nothing makes me happier than supporting a local business, especially when it is so well run and has such a great owner. Thank you Barry!

The owner Barry is committed to his job and does it well. He'll make things happen for you. He shipped a few things overseas for me at a discounted price. You won't find someone who understands the shipping and packing business better than Barry.

I'm rounding UP a little to 4 stars, but the rating isn't the real story. This is, as explained to me by its owner Barry F., a niche business aimed at "people who don't fit the usual model of needing a mover." Also like me: we wanted to save some bucks--movers are a racket! In my case, the volume and especially the weight of belongings that I needed shipped halfway across America (L.A. to K.C.) if packed, sent and delivered by movers would've been well past my willingness to pay. So instead I contracted HWC (which actually ships as "The Packaging Store") to help wrap up a few loose ends (a friend helped me pack most of it; our inexperience meant that) and we really needed someone like Barry to finish the job--not the cheapest option, but workable. He also built a box for some oddly-shaped and/or heavy items (then put it on a junk falling-apart skid). For good $. Would I use this service again? Honestly I'd try to reduce the payload a lot more to keep the cost down. I was charged a dollar a pound plus $250, which sounded much better until I found that my load took four crammed pallets and weighed well over a ton! (A smaller load--and theoretically if I loaded it onto a bus, truck or train myself--would have been a LOT LESS $!) Your mileage may vary. My other gripe: the time to final delivery was "estimated" at under a week, but took 27 days. (Not all their fault. The trucking company was anything but punctual, and that was a headache I'm so glad is in the past.)

This is the place. The owner is exceptional in his customer service, something that becomes more and more rare in the business world today. They go above and beyond to give specialized care in whatever shipping needs you have. Where other shipping solutions will only provide batch pricing and throw it in a box, this place will give you a tailored solution to your shipping needs and a price based on what you need to accomplish instead of what category you fall into. Definitely go here. seriously.

I wanted to ship two 50+ year-old large Japanese dolls in delicate wood-framed glass cases to the east coast. I thought they might be too fragile to ship. Barry did an excellent job packing the dolls and cases. They arrived in excellent condition. Great service. Five stars.

Barry can ship anything, anywhere. This is the place to go if you can’t fit your item in a standard box. I hope you stick around for many years to come, Barry.

Recently went there with an odd sized package I had to send parody mail did not have a box to fit properly. The owner Barry had the perfect box packaged it up for me and got it ready to ship very reasonably. Had used him previously last year to ship a couple of awkward shape pieces of artwork from LA to Florida. His costs and his packaging were far below the other places I contacted for quotes the items got their insured quickly and in excellent condition highly recommend for a packaging and shipping needs.

This place is the real deal. After helping me return a > 900 lb cable machine (functional trainer) through freight shipping, I'm fully confident that this store can help anyone package and ship anything anywhere. Barry was a huge help.

Handle With Care Packaging Store and Miguel did a great job moving from a bed apartment to a bed house with some stairs involved. Took a little longer than we wanted but it looks like everything was done with care and no major damage to report on any of our stuff. Thanks Handle With Care Packaging Store.

Barry was great, removed all the guesswork. Crated and shipped a large framed print to the East coast. Will definitely use again.
