Five Reasons to Ship to and from Salt Lake City

Looking to transport a few items into or out of the Salt Lake City region? Save yourself time, money and effort. Let the experts handle the packing and shipping and give you the best services at the most competitive rates. Here are some reasons Ship Smart can make shipping into and out of Salt Lake City easy and cost effective.



Why ship or move to Salt Lake City?

Local

With our streamlined booking process, you can be confident our shipping services are professional and communication wide open and frequent. Our local warehouse is conveniently located in Salt Lake City making it easy for us to manage logistic in the city and around in the suburbs.

Roads and Weather

The infrastructure in Salt Lake City is well maintained, with traffic safety measures in place that reduce traffic incidents and hence prevent delays along the highways. The city does not experience adverse weather conditions, so it is safer for shipping companies like us to move freight on and off our dock and in and out of the city at any time of the year

Cost

Due to its geographic location, shipping to Salt Lake City, on certain lanes, can be cost beneficial because of its status as a pass-through city. Meaning freight from the East headed West or North headed South (and vice versa) will inevitably pass through Salt Lake. This can reduce the cost of freight bound for Salt Lake City itself. Depending on the weight and size of the items you want to ship and the lane they're traveling, we might be able to offer the most affordable rates. You can check with a fast online shipping estimate 24/7.

Permits

A move within the state is not regulated. However, the company managing your out of state shipment needs to be licensed and insured. By hiring a legitimate shipping company, like Ship Smart, you will be ensuring that your items will be handled in a professional manner by a licensed and bonded, reputable firm. A company is not allowed to operate without worker's compensation or the proper DOT licensing, which we maintain.

Safety and Security

Ship Smart operates a state-of-the-art warehouse that is has security as it's top priority, so you can be assured that your items are safe whether you are storing your goods or if they are there temporarily after pick-up or before delivery. Our shipping process is streamlined and efficient, and you can easily keep track of the progress of your shipment.



Conclusion

The job market is strong in Salt Lake City and the cost of living reasonable, which means the great quality of life in Salt Lake. Whether you are a business owner or an individual, Ship Smart will help you pack, ship and deliver your belongings, stress free.
