Moving Supplies, Materials and Support

The UPS Store® is your one-stop shop for moving supplies and support - boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and more. When you need expert advice on supplies and materials or custom packing for valuable or fragile items, let The UPS Store help you. We can also help you arrange for professional moving services.

Packing & Moving Supplies

The UPS Store locations offer moving supplies and professional packing advice. The UPS Store Certified Packing Experts® can help you determine how many boxes you’ll need and which packaging materials will work best for whatever you’re moving.

We carry move-strong boxes in a variety of sizes and all the necessary supplies, including packing tape, bubble cushioning and packaging peanuts. We can even make custom boxes for odd-sized items.

Moving Van Services

We can schedule a moving van with blanket wrap, protective covering or custom crating. Call or visit your neighborhood location and ask for details.

Big or Small, We Ship it All®

Don’t want to move the big stuff yourself? We can ship bigger items, like a pool table, grandfather clock or even a motorcycle. Most of our locations can provide a choice of competitively priced freight services for your shipment, no matter how large or heavy.

Local Pick Up

Trust us to manage the pick up, packaging and delivery of your shipment. Any size, any shape. One box or a whole workshop. The Certified Packing Experts at The UPS Store can connect you with the right transportation carrier who can pick up your items (for a nominal fee).

Go ground

I have a day job as a shipping specialist & I have some recomendations...
First off, if you want to ship less expensively, go FedEx Ground. it's 1-4 business days in the USA (except 6-7 days for Hawaii and Alaska). Envelopes are cheaper through the US post, but larger boxes are cheaper vs the post, and everything is trackable, vs the post where if it gets lost you are screwed.
As for packing, wrap the painting (assuming it's a painting, but this is good for all art) in plastic first. You never know what else they're being shipped with and you don't want someone's bottle of whatever leaking all over your art
