Pack and Ship a Valentine to Your Sweetheart
February 4th, 2014 by Chris RaceWikipedia has an interesting history about Valentine’s Day. It might spark some unique Valentine ideas for your sweetheart. What’s your favorite? A store-bought greeting card? Homemade Valentine? Chocolate? Handcrafted item? Jewelry?
What if your sweetheart romance is long distance? If your budget is tight, think small and light weight so the item can be packed in a bubble mailer or small box. And ship early – at least five to six days ahead to most US locations. Stores like Pak Mail offer packing and shipping services for items big or small, fluffy or fragile. Professional shipping staff can help you choose the most cost-effective method to ensure your Valentine arrives safely and on time.
Quick tips for Valentine shipping:
- Keep all receipts for gifts purchased.
- Come prepared. Information includes:
- Ship-to name, address, & phone number;
- Contents of the package being shipped;
- Which items are fragile;
- Value of the item(s) being shipped; and
- When you would like the package to arrive.
- Ship a week ahead of Valentine’s Day.
