  • Not All Boxes Are Created Equal Find a rigid box that has all its flaps intact and make sure you’re using strong shipping tape. Avoid string or wrapping paper, and remove any old labels or shipment markings.
  • It’s What’s Inside That Counts Take the time to wrap all items separately and use plenty of cushioning materials to protect your precious cargo.
  • The Final Touch: Your Label Make sure you’re using a label that has clear and concise delivery information, as well as return details. Leave a duplicate address label inside the package as well for safe measure.
