Consumer customers using PACK & SEND packing and shipping can include excess baggage services for tourists, individuals making a short-term or small-scale move or anyone trading on-line at sites such as ebay where buyers and sellers need to arrange shipping of a purchased item. Business customer needs can be shipping for short-term moves for employees or equipment, office relocations or the packing and safe delivery of critical, fragile or awkward items such as art and antiques, the shipment of samples or proto-types and the secure movement of valuable items such as data servers or laboratory equipment, architectural models or exhibition and display materials.

PACK & SEND Croydon is managed by Mark & Anita Sanderson whose previous experience, including Mark being a Director in a household name company and Anita working with Lloyds Underwriters in London, has been invaluable in helping to match PACK & SEND’s specialist shipping services to the needs of businesses and individuals alike.
