This is what going the extra mile actually looks like. 🇺🇸📦🇫🇮
Earlier this month, an elderly woman in her 70s walked into our store overwhelmed and discouraged. She was permanently relocating to Helsinki, Finland and needed to ship 6 boxes — nearly 300 lbs of a lifetime’s worth of personal belongings — across the Atlantic. She had shopped other shipping store’s and was quoted over $10,000 everywhere she went, and was expected to bring all the boxes in herself.
When she came to us, our expertise in international shipping meant we could offer her significantly better rates and a true door to door service — we drove to her home, loaded every single box ourselves, brought everything back to the store, reinforced the packaging for the long international journey, and spent hours carefully preparing a detailed customs declaration across all 80 items so her belongings would clear Finnish customs smoothly without a single unexpected charge on the other end.
Her boxes left our store on Monday May 18th. They arrived at her door in Helsinki ten days later — door to door, across the Atlantic. ✅
We are a small local store and proud international shipping experts with a genuine commitment to this community and the people in it. When you’re in your 70s starting a new chapter in a new country, the last thing you should have to worry about is your shipping.
If you know someone who needs real shipping help — not just a counter to drop a box at — send them our way. We will take care of them.
