Shipping and Receiving
Shipping & Receiving Services in Coastal Maine
At Norumbega Moving & Storage, we offer professional shipping and receiving services for residential and commercial customers throughout Mount Desert Island and coastal Maine. Our managed approach ensures your items are received, inspected, stored, and delivered safely — without the stress of coordinating freight, deliveries, or limited access locations on your own.
This service is ideal for homeowners, contractors, designers, and businesses who need reliable local handling for incoming or outgoing shipments.
What Are Shipping & Receiving Services?
Shipping and receiving services provide a local point of contact for items that are being shipped into or out of the area.
Instead of coordinating deliveries directly to a job site, residence, or business, our team can:
-
Receive shipments on your behalf
-
Inspect items for visible damage
-
Store items securely until needed
-
Schedule delivery when you’re ready
This service is especially helpful for large, fragile, or high-value items that require professional handling.
