SERVICES

Professional Crating & Shipping Services

Some items need more than bubble wrap and a moving blanket. Antiques, fine art, chandeliers, glass tabletops, marble surfaces, and oversized electronics are all vulnerable to damage during a move — even when handled with care. That’s where professional crating comes in.

Poseidon Moving builds custom wooden crates designed to fit your most fragile and valuable belongings exactly. Each crate is measured, constructed, and reinforced to absorb impact, prevent shifting, and keep delicate pieces safe from pickup to delivery.

Whether you’re relocating to a new home or shipping a single high-value piece, our crating services give you the protection that standard packing materials can’t. We handle residential and commercial crating for local, long distance, and cross country moves — with the same precision every time.

What You Get with Poseidon

✓Custom-built wooden crates for each item
✓Padding, bracing, and shock absorption
✓On-site measurement and construction
✓Safe handling of art, antiques, and glass
✓Flat-rate pricing with no surprises

WHY CHOOSE US

Why Choose Our Professional Crating Services?

From a single antique mirror to an entire collection of fine art, our team builds custom crates that match the exact dimensions and fragility of each piece. Every crate is reinforced, padded internally, and built to handle the stress of transit — whether your move is nearby or to the other side of the country.

✓

Included When You Need It
Standard furniture wrapping with heavy-duty moving pads is always part of our moving services. For items that need extra protection — like glass, marble, artwork, or electronics — we’ll recommend crating during your pre-move consultation and build it into your plan.

✓

Standalone Crating & Shipping
You don’t have to be moving with us to use our crating service. We also offer standalone crating and shipping for individual items or small collections — perfect for estate sales, gallery shipments, online furniture purchases, and anyone who needs to send something fragile safely.

✓

Residential & Commercial
Whether it’s a chandelier in a dining room or server equipment in an office, our team handles residential and commercial crating with the same attention to detail. We’ve crated everything from grand pianos to museum-quality sculptures.

✓

Built to Protect in Transit
Every crate is constructed with quality lumber, internal bracing, foam lining, and cushioning to prevent movement during transport. We pair crating with our packing services so your entire shipment is protected end to end.

HOW IT WORKS

How Our Crating Process Works

Getting your fragile items properly crated is simple:

1.
Assessment — Tell us what you need crated and share photos or product links if you have them. We’ll evaluate the size, weight, and fragility of each item to determine the best approach.
2.
Custom Build — Our team constructs each crate on-site or in our workshop, using precise measurements and reinforced materials tailored to your items.
3.
Packing & Loading — Items are carefully wrapped, padded, and placed into their crates. Each crate is sealed, labeled, and positioned securely for transport.
4.
Delivery & Unpacking — At your destination, we uncrate each item, inspect it with you, and remove all crating materials so you’re left with just your belongings in place.

QUESTIONS

Crating & Shipping Questions Answered

Items that are especially fragile, irregularly shaped, or high in value benefit most from custom crating. This includes fine art, glass tabletops, marble surfaces, chandeliers, antiques, sculptures, and large electronics like flat-screen TVs. If an item can't be safely protected with standard wrapping and padding alone, a custom-built crate is the way to go. During your consultation, we'll let you know exactly which items we recommend crating.
Standard furniture wrapping with heavy-duty moving pads is included in every move at no extra charge. Custom crating is an additional service quoted based on the number of items, their size, and the materials required. We provide transparent pricing upfront so there are no surprises on moving day.
Yes. We offer standalone crating and shipping for individual items or small collections. Whether you've purchased a fragile piece online, need to ship artwork to a gallery, or are sending an heirloom to a family member, we can build a custom crate and arrange safe transport — no full move required.

Wow, what an incredible experience working with Poseidon moving. They were very professional, very affordable for my move, nothing was damaged, and all was tracked online. I really really highly reccommend Poseidon movers. It took me 6 companies quotes to find the best one! I move from East Boston to Asheville NC in mid Sept. Thank you Poseidon for the incredible move!

Booking Poseidon Moving services couldn't have been easier and the attention given couldn't have been topped. Oleg was a great communicator and we got plenty of emailed information on what to expect moving day and how to best prepare for it. On moving day, communication with the moving crew was clear and concise. The moving team was careful with our belongings and efficient moving things out and into our new place. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Everything about using Poseidon was great! Professional and fast service, and everything arrived in perfect condition right on time. The price and delivery window for my cross country move was by far the most ideal.

Poseidon just moved my furniture from Boston to San Francisco, and they did an amazing job. They took great care packing my furniture with padding and blankets, and everything arrived in perfect condition. They stuck to their pick-up and delivery dates, and the upfront pricing was spot on—no surprise charges. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

They really have a very nice team. I have used their services not once but twice. First time within Massachusetts and Second time Massachusetts to New Jersey. They are a thouroughly professional team at affordable price. We can rely on them and they are flexible enough with our travel plans. I opted for full packing, they patiently listened and attended to each of household items with care. I can recommend them to any. They ease your tensions and get things done one time. I am always grateful to this team
