We recently had an interesting experience helping a touring musician on short-notice get over four tons of equipment separated and safely to four different locations in Canada and the US on deadline.
A couple of weeks ago we received a call on a Thursday afternoon from the tour manager of Datsik, a dubstep (if you are under 25 you’ll need to look the word up) DJ who was ending a tour at the Rex Theater in Pittsburgh on the coming Saturday evening. Here was his mission brief: pick-up 8200 lbs of expensive music and sound equipment at 2 AM on Sunday morning, separate it into four shipments, safely pack each, and have two of the shipments arrive on a tight deadline in Indianapolis and New York City the coming Wednesday. Mission results: we successfully navigated the mob scene that is the Southside bar district on Saturday night / Sunday morning and picked-up the equipment. All critical shipments departed our warehouse on Monday and safely arrived on schedule on Wednesday. Ain’t datsik!

PHOTO MOTOR AUWhat’s the only thing faster and more powerful than Pak Mail Pittsburgh’s service? How about a Chevy V-8 powered bar-stool? Recently, we helped Hoss Fly Inc (www.hossflyinc.com), a Pittsburgh area company crate and ship one of their motorized bar stools to Australia. The stool can move at speeds up to 25 MPH at 5000 RPM (to help reduce the time between bar closing and bedtime) and pull-up to 2000 lbs of friends to any after-party you are planning. And to think you thought those ramps outside your favorite bar were for wheelchairs!

The world’s largest and most awesome boxed set!
Pak Mail Crate & Ship Pittsburgh recently completed packing up the Record-Rama Music Archive in preparation for its shipment to a collector. The collection was developed by Mr Paul Mawhinney over almost fifty years and is the world’s largest with over a million record albums, 45s, and 78s. Pak Mail Pittsburgh packed everything up into over 6000 cartons and will assist in the loading of overseas containers when the time comes. Truly, an amazing boxed set.

Pak Mail Pittsburgh Crate & Ship has been helping a local export company to crate a nice piece of equipment. This equipment will be shipped to Canada. We handle for all our customers paperwork and provide insurance that is a cero deductible one. This is a plus when you are looking to ship a very valuable piece, either of equipment or of art.
When working with regular insurance there is always the problem of not being able to insure art! They also sometimes say over a certain amount of dollars, no insurance available. We always say yes! Pittsburgh is a great place where people find antiques, art. It is also a place where there are many medical auctions and things of this nature. We are the solution for this type of complicated jobs. Need a quote please call us 724-742-1110 or email aduran@pakmailpittsburgh.com. We have locations in Cranberry twp 1606. Also In Irwin 15642

When the production company for the CBS show, CSI New York working on a very tight deadline needed a 7’ statue of St Patrick picked-up in Mcdonald, PA, crated, and shipped to Studio City, CA, who did they call? Pak Mail Pittsburgh of course. We picked-up the piece on the same day we got the go ahead and had it shipped the next day. We even helped our customer save money (it’s TV after all) by using a guaranteed over-the-road express service to avoid the high cost of air freight. The shipment arrived on time and in perfect condition. A happy ending for all…including the statue…we hope. You never know with CSI New York.

Pak MailPittsburgh At Your Serv(er)ice!

Need to ship high-value, sensitive computer hardware? Do we have a story for you. Our client needed to have ten loaded server racks and four pallets of peripheral equipment taken from their 7th floor location, crated on-site, and safely shipped the same day to an important client in San Francisco. We should mention that the 7th floor location offered less than one inch height clearance through some doorways and some racks weighed over 800 lbs. Oh yes, the other fact…equipment was valued at over $500K.

In six hours, we transported all the equipment to covered parking area, inserted the racks into custom, foam-lined crates we had prefabricated, and loaded onto an air-ride truck for direct transport to SF.

The results: happy end-customer, happy client, and a great story to tell. Check out our website for pictures.

People from all over the world have been purchasing items from the Concept Art Gallery, a very well known antiques auction house. During their last auction, Pak Mail Pittsburgh had the pleasure of helping some of their clientele that were looking for different carrier options.

Pak Mail Pittsburgh was their solution! We provided international buyers with a variety options, depending on their lot size. While some used the usual FedEx, DHL and UPS, others found that ocean freight was the best choice for them!

We absolutely love helping our customers and shipping things all around the world! At the last auction, we were also able to ship items to Singapore! Pak Mail Pittsburgh is proud to offer local ‘Burgh residents (and international buyers too) a variety of options that save our customers money.

…Or that of its customers! We recently took on the challenge of packing and shipping a mounted elk’s head. This wasn’t just any head, it was a 400 score trophy monstrosity – think the elk version of the shark from Jaws!

Our customer, which was a local taxidermist company appropriately named DOA (yes, Dead on Arrival) needed a shipping partner that would allow them to expand their business to out-of -town customers. Mounted trophy animals are awkwardly shaped, have fragile appendages, and have a high value (multiple $1000′s) – which means this is just the kind of item that Pak Mail Pittsburgh LOVES to ship!

We picked-up the trophy mount and carefully wrapped and packaged it to meet the standards needed for motor carrier shipments. We are pleased to report that the head arrived safely and now has a prestigious (but somewhat stationary) home on the wall of its owner’s home.
