AVOIDING PORCH PIRATES
in Uncategorized/by Pak MailA
About 26 million Americans or roughly eight percent of the population has had a package stolen from their porch, it’s important to take the proper steps to make sure your Christmas gifts are safe and you are protected. When you ship your Christmas presents try to make sure your recipient will be home on the day your packages are estimated to arrive. If your recipient lives in an apartment complex, ask if they have a doorman that receives packages. FedEx and UPS will often collect a signature from the doorman or someone at the apartment office upon delivery. Sending packages to a business address is one of the easiest ways to assure your packages are handed to someone at the delivery address and not left outside. Not only will you receive a free signature on commercial deliveries, many times you will get a small discount on your shipping. Pak Mail offers insurance, email tracking updates and options for getting packages picked up at carrier office locations close to your recipient’s address to help our customers assure smooth delivery.Come in with your Christmas presents and let us help you make your holiday shipping easier than your holiday shopping!
Want Your Christmas Gifts to Arrive on Time? These Are the Shipping Deadlines to Know
in Uncategorized/by Pak MailIf you want to take advantage of lower standard shipping rates, FedEx recommends sending Christmas gifts before December 13 for its FedEx ground service. For the U.S. Postal Service’s basic ground shipping option, gifts should be sent by December 11, while UPS promises to deliver your packages on time as long as you send by December 13. Premium shipping options are also available, and those presents can be sent between December 18 and December 21, depending on the service.
Keeping Your Christmas Shipping On Time
in Uncategorized/by Pak MailWith the holidays quickly approaching it’s important to plan for the issues carriers like FedEx, UPS and USPS may encounter this time of year. A large increase in packages mixed with some winter weather delays can cause headaches. Luckily here at Pak Mail we keep an eye out and we’re here to help guide our customers through the process and make sure their presents arrive in time for Christmas morning. Before you come in to ship your gifts there’s a few things you can do to help make sure they arrive on time as well.
• If you’re shipping to areas that get poor winter weather, ship a few days ahead of time.
• Check with the recipient to make sure their address is correct.
• Use a carrier like FedEx or UPS to speed up deliveries and keep better track of where your gifts are. If you encounter shipping issues they’re much easier to fix with a private carrier.
• Carriers may not leave packages at certain apartments, see if the recipient has a door man that will receive packages or if they have a business address you could ship to instead. We can also help get them delivered to a carrier office close to your recipient’s address for them to be picked up.
• If you don’t have time to pack your gifts just bring them in and we’ll be happy to help you!
