CENTENNIAL, Colo., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Making the gift list,
shopping for the perfect gift, preparing for festivities and dealing with
the holiday rush is enough for anyone to deal with this time of year. The
task of getting the gifts where you need them to go stress-free and with
peace of mind is best left to the experts.
If you are traveling this holiday season and want to make your airport
security experience go smoothly, shipping your gifts on ahead is the way to
go. Added restrictions as to what can and cannot be brought on-board will
make it more difficult than before to come bearing gifts.
No matter where the gift is going, it is extremely important to ensure
that the varying packaging requirements and holiday mailing deadlines are
met.
Pak Mail, a full-service packing, shipping and crating center with
locations locally and worldwide, provides the following guidelines for safe
and easy holiday shipping:
Ship Early. December 11th is the recommended deadline from the United
States Post Office for military and international shipping and mailing. For
U.S. destinations, December 11 is also the recommended deadline. After
that, air transportation is recommended and your local Pak Mail Center can
advise you of all the major carrier shipping guidelines as well as
deadlines.
Size Restrictions. UPS: Maximum 165 inches in length and girth; maximum
weight 150 lbs. FedEx Ground: Maximum 165 inches in length and girth;
maximum weight 150 lbs. 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 Centers enforce no size or weight
restrictions; they can ship anything anywhere.
Consolidate your packages. Shipping one 20-pound box costs less than
shipping two 10-pound boxes. It also means that there is only one package
to track.
Enclose extra address labels inside of the package itself. This is an
added precaution in case things go awry and the package is damaged.
Ship to a business address when possible. This will ensure someone will
be there to receive the package.
