CENTENNIAL, Colo., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Finding the perfect holiday
present for that special someone doesn't have to be the only satisfying part
of gift giving this season. Getting it there on time and in one piece, should
also bring satisfaction when done confidently, conveniently and with peace of
mind.
Pak Mail is a premium packing and shipping center that offers its
customers a menu of shipping options and services. "Depending upon the
destination of the gift, customers may choose FedEx, UPS, DHL, various
trucking lines, or international air and ocean freight carriers. In addition
to shipping them, Pak Mail will also expertly wrap and pack the gifts, all in
accordance with current requirements," says Pak Mail President and CEO, Evan
Lasky.
Whether the gift is going across town, across the country or across the
ocean, it is extremely important to ensure that the varying packaging
requirements and holiday mailing deadlines are met. For individuals traveling
over the holidays, it makes good sense to ship gifts on ahead. Avoid facing
the hassle of the heightened security at the airport and the chance of paying
additional fees for extra baggage currently imposed by some airlines.
The following are offered as helpful tips to eliminate any confusion
around holiday shipping:
* Ship early. December 1 is the recommended deadline for military and
international shipping and mailing, December 8 for U.S. destinations.
After that, air transportation is recommended and will be more costly.
* UPS package size restrictions: Maximum 130 inches length and girth;
maximum weight 150 lbs. FedEx Ground package size restrictions:
Maximum 130 inches length and girth; maximum weight 150 lbs. U.S.
Postal Service size restrictions: Maximum 108 inches length and girth;
130 inches for parcel post; maximum weight 70 lbs. Packaging and
shipping experts at centers like Pak Mail enforce no size or weight
shipping restrictions; they can ship anything, anywhere.
* There are many restrictions currently enforced regarding exactly what
types of items may or may not be shipped via UPS, FedEx or the U.S.
Postal Service. All approved items should be packaged in new, sturdy
boxes, using no brown paper or string, no "Scotch," masking or duct
tape, and no newspaper for item protection. The pros operating Pak
Mail Centers recommend that you let them determine if the item meets
the legal standards and handle the packaging accordingly.
* Consolidate your packages and shipments. One 20-pound box costs less
to ship than two 10-pound boxes.
* If possible, ship to a business address to be sure someone is there to
receive the package.
* Use declared value coverage for additional peace of mind.
* Ship your gifts on ahead to your holiday destination.
* Enclose extra address label inside the package just in case the outside
is damaged during shipping.
* Let professionals, like those at Pak Mail, pack all of your fragile
gifts to ensure safe delivery.
