CENTENNIAL, Colo., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- During the hustle and bustle of
the holiday season, you can ensure your gift has reached its destination by
following a number of guidelines from the experts.
Pak Mail, with locations nationwide offering a variety of packing and
shipping services, has key recommendations to help take some of the stress out
of shipping holiday gifts. They include shipping early, knowing the shipping
rules and restrictions, consolidating your packages and including extra
labels. See http://www.pakmail.com.
Ship Early. In order for you to feel confident that your package will
arrive on time, make sure to pay attention to the guidelines listed with the
major shippers, U.S. Postal Service, UPS and FedEx. The dates fluctuate from
year to year, so it is always best to double check.
Be aware of any shipping restrictions. Ask ahead of time about any rules
regarding what types of items may or may not be shipped, packing guidelines
and size and weight requirements to avoid surprises at the counter. Pak Mail
Centers enforce no size or weight restrictions; they ship anything, anywhere.
"Your local Pak Mail Center can advise you of all the major carrier
shipping deadlines and guidelines and will help you be sure that your packages
get out on time and in time for the holidays," says Pak Mail President and CEO
Evan Lasky.
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.
If possible, ship to a business address. This will ensure someone will be
there to receive the package.
Pak Mail Centers around the world offer complete packing and shipping
services. For more information and Pak Mail locations, call 1-800-778-6665 or
