Have too many boxes for post or parcel shippers but not enough to fill a moving truck? Shipping large boxes and want to avoid oversized package fees charged by parcel carriers like FedEx or UPS? Whether you’re shipping large boxes to the next state or across the country, TSI makes it easy to ship boxes long distance. With our nationwide network of box shipping professionals, TSI’s expert problem solvers specialize in creating customized plans for moving or shipping large boxes.
Some of TSI’s box shipping solutions include professional packing and preparation to ensure your belongings arrive undamaged. If you have 15 or more boxes to ship, we can also help palletize your shipment for safer transport. Custom crating and climate-controlled trucks are also available. Request a box shipping quote for more information. We can help you ship boxes any distance longer than 150 miles, including:
Boxes measuring 18” x 18” x 24” or larger. Box size does not factor into freight pricing.
Unlike other carriers, TSI has no special requirements for heavy boxes.
Crated items, packed pallets, and palletized shipments of 15+ boxes.
If you are shipping 15+ boxes or oversized and heavy boxes that you will pack, our logistics specialists may recommend our White Glove Consolidated box shipping service. If you are moving your entire home long distance, need faster delivery, or need help packing your boxes, our Full Service Expedited service is often the best option. To ship 15 or fewer medium-sized packed boxes, our flat rate Box-And-Ship program may be the most cost-effective choice. The exact cost of your box shipment will depend on the size and number of boxes you’re shipping, the distance they will travel, and any special considerations such as fragile contents or palletization. Some service options may be more cost-effective than others if you also have some to ship or are flexible with your timing.

What can I pack in a box for shipping?
Clothes, dishes, pots & pans, knick knacks, and small furniture items can all be safely packed into boxes for shipping. Your furniture and appliances should always be blanket wrapped (or crated) and shipped using White Glove services.
If you have a lot of items in varying sizes and need several boxes, our flat rate box-and-ship solution is based on the number of boxes you need to ship and the service level you choose. We'll send you the empty boxes to fill up, then come get them and deliver them to their destination. All you have to do is pack them up!
How do I choose the right box for shipping my items?
Where is the best place to get packing supplies?
The best place to get packing supplies depends on what supplies you need. New boxes and packing materials can be purchased from storage companies and DIY movers. If you’re moving your entire household, you can also purchase a moving kit that contains everything you’ll need to pack your belongings. TSI sells moving kits here. We ship them right to your door, making this all-in-one solution as simple and straightforward as possible.
