Handle With Care Packaging Store - Goleta, California

If you are looking for a reliable company to ship your belongings, look no further. We used the Packaging Store twice. We had the items shipped from Santa Barbara, California to Portland, Oregon. The shipment included furniture, paintings, wood carvings and many other items. A 70 year old had carved wooden screen had to be handled with care to protect it, and it arrived in perfect condition. Charlie went out of his way to be helpful, and would immediately return my calls or text messages and answer all my question.
I would not hesitate to used this company again, and highly recommend their services.

I needed to have a 5ft X 4ft stained glass window moved from Santa Barbara to my home near Seattle. The house where the window was being stored was going on the market, so time was of the essence. Charlie at the the Packaging Store was professional, efficient, and kind. The window could not be insured, so Charlie said they would "pack the heck out of it." They did. The window arrived well packaged with no damage, and at less than half the cost of a Seattle packing company. I highly recommend this company for art work or anything precious that you need to ship.

Can't say enough about the service I received from this business. From start to finish Charlie was on it! I had them ship an antique slot machine from Santa Barbara to North Carolina. They came to my house to pick it up the very next day after I called them. It was shipped the day it was suppose to, and arrived safe and sound the day promised.I received daily updates on it's travel progress. Again, I would recommend this company to any of my friends and relatives. THANKS GUYS 🙂

I would give the Packaging Store Santa Barbara 6 stars if I could because they are that good.
As an artist I have used them multiple times over the years and my artwork has always arrived on time and in excellent condition. But last fall they went above and beyond the call of duty. I had to ship 6 large pieces to an art show in Dallas. As always the paintings arrived safe and sound. But when it came time for the gallery to return them, I ran into trouble. The gallery was supposed to save the boxes the Packaging Store had made for the paintings and return them via Federal Express. I waited and waited, but no paintings. I called several times and each time I was assured that the boxes had been saved and that it was just taking a while because there were over 100 artists in the show. I waited some more and called some more with no results.
Then one day Charlie from the Packaging Store contacted me just to make sure I had been satisfied with the job he had done. I told him his work was excellent, but the gallery was another story. I explained about the weeks of delay and frustration. He asked me if I would like him to call the gallery for me and I said, "Yes, please!"
After Charlie took over, it was smooth sailing all the way. Despite what they had told me, the gallery had not saved my boxes so Charlie had to give them instructions over the phone on how to pack the paintings. I had them back within a week and for less money than Fed Ex would have charged.
I shudder to think what would have happened had Charlie not taken a proactive approach and gone to bat for me. He is worth his weight in gold and I wholeheartedly recommend the Packaging Store Santa Barbara to anybody and everybody.

Needed to put a large grandfather clock in long term storage. From my first inquiry, I was impressed with this team’s expertise. When you are good at your craft, but also have a warm customer service orientation it’s a winning combination. Our clock was professionally secured and placed in a custom constructed crate. Every detail was thoughtfully considered and executed with excellence. Well deserving of the highest ranking. Thank-you!

I would not deal with this company again. While the goods shipped arrived well packed and in good order, it took the 6 weeks to finally get it all shipped out.  Not delivered, SHIPPED.  They charged for the shipments 3 weeks before it actually shipped. Hanging on to more than $4,700 without actually doing anything.

They would no longer take my calls (Blocking) and would not answer texts.

We had them pick it all up as we were leaving town, so had no choice but to wait, since we were 3,000 miles away.

I’m a local realtor and recently helped client sell his mothers house after she passed away. We had to ship her belongings to three different states so that her adult children can have the possessions they wanted. Handle with care packaging store was amazing and helping us accomplish this challenging goal and everybody got the things they wanted from mom’s house.

Charlie shipped a special case of wine for us so that we could enjoy it on a much needed vacation to Lanai Hawaii. The process was efficient and easy. I highly recommend this service if you enjoy wine like we do!
