How Ship Smart Handles State-To-State Shipping

Our cross-country shipping process is streamlined for efficiency and reliability, leveraging our expertise in pallet shipping and less-than-truckload (LTL) services. Here’s how we ship your items:

1. White-Glove Pickup: Our professional movers collect your items from your home or business, wrapping them in pad wraps and blankets to ensure safe transport to our warehouse.
2. Custom Packing: At the warehouse, Ship Smart-certified professionals pack and ship your goods using bubble wrap, foam, and heavy-duty cartons, palletizing them for secure transit. High-value or fragile items receive custom wood crating.
3. Efficient Freight Shipping: Your palletized shipment is consolidated with others via LTL, shipped with North America’s top carriers. We provide real-time tracking for peace of mind.
4. Payment and Transit: Once packed, our team contacts you to process payment. Shipments are scheduled for transit within 24–48 hours, with regular service taking 4–6 weeks, depending on volume and destination (expedited options available).
