subject: The Ten Best Ways To Make Sure Your Package Arrives Intact And Pristine [print this page] It is time for the Silly Season, what some people call the holiday season or Christmas, Hanukah, or winter festival time. What it means for your courier service is that package deliveries triple and people are shipping and packing in preparation for holiday celebrations. When you get ready to send your holiday presents, be sure to pack and wrap your package for a safe and secure delivery. Here are the best ways to ensure your package is delivered whole and intact.
Start with the inside of the package to ready your merchandise for shipment. Wrap all fragile items in bubble wrap and waterproof packaging, taping the ends of the wrap securely to close.
Place the bubble wrapped merchandise inside of a cardboard carton. Reinforce the inside of the carton with heavy duty cardboard sides so the contents cannot be crushed.
Wrap the small cardboard box with brown or white wrapping paper. Place an address label of the recipient inside the cardboard box before closing.
Write the recipient's name and address clearly on the outside of the wrapped box. Use a piece of clear packing tape to cover the name and address; this will protect the ink from moisture and dirt.
Cover the entire package again with plastic wrap in case the package gets exposed to rain or snow.
Place the package into the courier's shipping container and box. Now write the shipping information on the courier label, carefully printing your name as the shipper and the recipient's name in bold, waterproof ink.
If the shipper allows, encase the entire shipping label in plastic. Use either a plastic sleeve that comes from your courier service or a clear, plastic packing tape you can purchase from your local retailer.
Place the package in a secure place while you wait for your courier to pick up. Do not place your product outside in the elements where the rain, wind, hail or snow can damage the packaging and the merchandise. Call your Atlanta delivery service for transport. Mark the outside of the container if the contents are breakable or fragile. Advise your courier if these contents are easily damaged; they will want to know if special handling is required.
Sit back and sip a cup of cocoa, knowing that your Atlanta delivery service will take special care to ensure your special package is delivered quickly and with no damage. Sending your packages by courier will assure that you can relax and enjoy the holidays without fretting about getting the packages delivered.
