Capabilities
Prior to packing, all items are evaluated to determine the best method of packing and shipping. Each item is wrapped accordingly using Styrofoam or foam cushioning to maintain protection and restrict movement. Instructions accompany specialty packed items to alert the recipient of the safest method to unpack the item.

When you choose Craters & Freighters, you know exactly who will be handling your items, and you can rest assured that the people handling your items are up to the task.
