Faster Timelines, Simplified Customs, and End-to-End Tracking Across Four East Coast Stores

Washington, DC - 1 Stop Pack N Ship today announced the launch of Express International Shipping at all four East Coast locations, enabling businesses and consumers to send time-sensitive shipments worldwide with greater speed, clarity, and control. The new service combines premium carrier options, expert export documentation support, and proactive visibility to streamline delivery to major global markets.

“Customers told us they needed a faster, easier way to ship across borders without the paperwork headaches,” said Roy Azima, Owner at 1 Stop Pack N Ship. “Express International offers time-definite delivery, clear customs guidance, and a single point of accountability from counter to delivery.”

 

With cross‑border e-commerce, global gifting, and distributed supply chains on the rise, demand for reliable expedited shipping continues to grow. Express International shipping provides time‑definite options to key destinations - often within 1–3 business days to major hubs, subject to destination and customs clearance - along with guided forms, upfront duty/tax choices, and real‑time tracking updates.

 

Key features include:

 

  • Time‑definite delivery to most countries and territories
  • End‑to‑end tracking and delivery confirmation
  • Help with export documents and customs codes
  • Duties and taxes paid options (DDP) where eligible
  • Professional packing for fragile and high‑value items
  • Insurance options for added peace of mind
  • Door pickup and in‑store drop‑off
  • Extended hours at select locations

 

“For small and midsize shippers, the difference isn’t just speed—it’s confidence,” added Roy. “We eliminate the common causes of delays—unclear descriptions, missing codes, and noncompliant packaging—so shipments move smoothly and arrive on time.”

The service supports a wide range of international shipments, from time‑critical documents and prototypes to consumer goods, gifts, and returns. At the counter, associates follow a brief checklist to capture the right data upfront, reducing hold‑ups at customs. Frequent shippers can save preferred settings to streamline repeat orders and ensure consistent documentation.

 

Professional packing is available at every location, including custom crating, cushioning, and right‑sizing to protect items through multi‑leg international transit. Staff advise on carrier‑approved materials and labeling for sensitive goods, including lithium batteries and electronics, subject to destination and carrier restrictions. Customers who pack their own items receive guidance to meet strength, sealing, and marking standards.

 

To meet tight timelines, 1 Stop Pack N Ship has aligned pickup schedules and cut‑off times across its stores. Customers can contact their nearest location to confirm same‑day dispatch windows, weekend availability, and holiday hours. For those unable to visit in person, door pickup can be arranged within local service areas, with digital labels and curbside handoff options on request.

 

Sustainability considerations are built into the workflow where possible. Locations help pack and ship stock recycled and recyclable packing materials, and associates help customers right‑size packages to reduce dimensional weight.

 

Launch promotion: New and existing customers can receive $100 off any shipment over 500 lbs plus $50 off of any size crate!

 

Availability

 

Express International Shipping is available now at all four 1 Stop Pack N Ship locations on the East Coast: Dunn Loring, VA, Rockville, MD, Washington, DC, and Timonium, MD. Start a shipment in store or begin online at https://1stoppacknship.com/ to pre‑populate forms and save time at drop‑off.
