We’re all busy during the holidays. In the rush of buying presents and making your family’s plans, it’s not hard to make some mistakes that can cause issues with your Christmas shipping. Here at Pak Mail, this is our 30th Christmas this year! We know how to get your shipping done right and we know the issues that must be avoided to get gifts to their destination on time. Here’s a few tips to help you avoid shipping delays and mishaps.
• Check your recipient’s address before shipping. If you’re sending to an apartment, see if they have a doorman to receive packages. Carriers may not leave packages at certain apartments, so you may want to send to their business address or we can help arrange pickup at a carrier location close to their address.
• Make sure boxes are taped well and labels are secure. Scotch tape will not hold up during transit.
• Use a private carrier like FedEx, UPS or DHL to insure you have a reliable tracking number.
• Use Pak Mail to receive automatic email tracking updates and keep a close eye on your gifts during transit.
• Weather delays happen, shipping ahead of time can assure packages arrive before Christmas.
