Business and Shipping Center of Southbury

"If I can give a review of 0 stars I would. This business was responsible for shipping a single baseball card weighing 4 ounces from Connecticut to New York and think that charging $12 for USPS Ground Advantage is reasonable. If I, a regular person were to ship the exact package from my address to theirs it would cost exactly $3.84. How and where are they factoring in their additional $9 to ship? I was told that it is their time I am responsible for and their gas money to and from the auction house which is an hour long round trip. What else am I responsible for? Your car insurance payment? Your phone bill? Your brick-and-mortar overhead? What other business expenses would you like to forward on to the customer? I was also told that my single auction lot was not the only lot they picked up from the auction house, but one of many different auction lots. So not only are they gouging an individual, but many individuals and shipping many auction lots. How this shipping center warranting the cost it takes to package, buy a label, drive to pick up the item(s) by 3x? Use caution with using this business. It will certainly cost any customer less to just ship whatever they need themselves."

"Friendly helpful service! I had 200+ pages to copy both physically and via Wi-Fi to their printer - it was an absolute breeze! They’ve certainly got my business for all shipping and coping needs!"

"I wish every shipping company were like them! I've used Business & Shipping Center of Southbury several times now as an out-of-state client and they have been so incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating, I really can't say enough good things about them. They've always packed my items with skill and care, no damaged items, and have catered to my specific needs including requesting my own freight shipping from their facility. Again, I wish there were more companies like them everywhere! Huge help to me and my small business!"

"Great service! I had them pack and ship an 80+ year-old steamer trunk to Florida. The packing was a work of art—it was wrapped in layers of kraft paper, cardboard, and bubble wrap placed in a double-walled cardboard box surrounded by packing peanuts. The old trunk arrived with no damage whatsoever and on time. And the total cost was a lot less expensive than the UPS Store. Kudos to them!"

"Craig was wonderful following up with collecting items from a local auction house and preparing them for shipment. The objects were large scale and quite fragile. He packed them with. Extreme care and they arrived safely to Canada. I highly recommend them for fine art shipping and packaging!!"
