CENTENNIAL, Colo., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- With the joy of holiday gift
giving, comes the chore of holiday gift shipping. The varying packaging
requirements and holiday shipping and mailing deadlines can be confusing
and produce a high level of unnecessary anxiety.
The professionals at Pak Mail, a full-service packing, shipping center
with locations locally and worldwide, know all the latest packaging
requirements and shipping deadlines to ensure that those carefully selected
gifts arrive on time and in one piece. "We are happy to wrap, pack and ship
the gifts across town or overseas for our customers at any one of our
convenient locations. We make it our business to guarantee peace of mind
this holiday season and throughout the year. There's enough to do around
this time of year, let Pak Mail handle all the gift shipping needs," says
Evan Lasky, President and CEO of Pak Mail Centers of America, Inc.
Pak Mail offers some valuable shipping tips:
Be sure to ship early. Packages going overseas to the military should
be mailed no later than Monday, November 13. Parcel Post to destinations
within the United States should be mailed no later than the second week of
December. Send Priority Mail by the third week of December and Express Mail
by the 21st of December. If people are traveling over the holidays, ship
the gifts on ahead to avoid enduring the hassle of the enhanced security at
the airport and the chance of paying additional fees for extra baggage
currently imposed by some airlines.
Size Restrictions. UPS, FedEx Ground and DHL: Maximum 165 inches in
length and girth; maximum weight 150 lbs. U.S. Post Office: Maximum 130
inches in length and girth; maximum weight 70 lbs. Pak Mail enforces no
size or weight restrictions; they can ship anything anywhere. Keep in mind
that one 20-pound box costs less to ship than two 10-pound boxes.
Pay attention to the details. Always use proper packing materials like
bubble wrap or Styrofoam peanuts. Use tape that is designed for shipping,
such as pressure-sensitive tape, nylon-reinforced tape, etc. Put the
delivery and return addresses on only one side of the package. Enclose an
extra address label inside the package that contains the sender's address
and the recipient's address along with a list of the contents. Should
things to awry and the package become damaged, it can be repackaged and it
will still reach its final destination.

shipping and business support franchise with more than 450 centers located
