PRIVATE CARRIER ADVANTAGES

in /by

There are many advantages to shipping with a private carrier during the holiday season.  Private carriers are far more reliable and expedient during the peak season!

  • Private carriers can provide more detailed tracking updates for all of your packages during the shipping process.
  • Need to ship international during the Christmas season?  Carriers like DHL, Fed Ex, and UPS are guaranteed to arrive at their destination even overseas in a timely manner.
  • Private carriers can also reroute packages during transit or arrange pick up at one of their stores to ensure your packages are received in time.
  • Transit times are faster so packages are handled less.

Packing Presents Like The Pros

in /by

Packing supplies are just one more thing to add to your shopping list this Holliday season. Pak Mail is happy to pack any breakable or valuable items you have to ship. If you prefer to pack your presents yourself here’s a few tips from the pros!

  1. Highly fragile items such as ceramics and glass ornaments should be double boxed. Give any fragile items at least two inches of packing material on each side.
  2. Use a strong box and make sure it’s filled up. You don’t want the box too big or too small for what you’re packing but never leave empty space in a box. This can cause the tape to come undone and the box to be crushed inwards.
  3. Private carriers like FedEx or UPS can have faster transit times and that means less handling.
  4. Good packing is always better than a fragile sticker!

Christmas mistakes to avoid

in /by

It’s the peak season for shipping. There’s more packages going out, heavier truckloads being moved and rough weather forecasts. Don’t let simple mistakes keep your presents from arriving on time!

  • Always check your recipient’s address and make sure they’re home on the day your parcel is estimated to arrive. If not ask Pak Mail how to have pick up arranged at a carrier location.
  • Use a sturdy box and good packing tape. Scotch tape and duct tape won’t cut it.
  • Private carriers like UPS, FedEx and DHL will insure your packages are tracked and arrive quickly.
  • Pak Mail’s new email package notifications will help you stay organized with tracking updates straight to you inbox from any of our carriers.
  • There will be weather delays, ship ahead of time!
