1. Shipping: I know we're supposed to ship w/tracking and confirmation, but what company would be the safest/most economical, etc... (I remember that at least Jenn298 can't receive FedEx where she lives but don't know about anyone else) What about insurance? I'm assuming it's a good idea. What about having someone sign upon receipt?
2. Packing: Any packing tips? Someone posted during another GE that their gift came wrapped in piddle pads. What about about bubble wrap? Tissue paper? Should we worry about certain packing materials? Is it a good idea to wrap the present for the mom separately from the gifts for the yorkie? Should we take off the little labels that are attached for safety or will the moms want to read those?
3. Decoration: Is a box that is decorated in a cute way appreciated or a waste of time? Is it expected or will someone think I'm weird. (Okay, yes I'm weird! LOL) |
Judy, what a great post!
Not sure about shipping, other than that I don't think you should have someone sign upon receipt-We might not be home since we're working, and we'd hate to miss our package! If someone wants a signature upon receipt-maybe post that in a separate thread? I would definitely say to insure that package! There's lots of fun cargo in them!
I love the wrapping in Pee Pads-just make sure your yorkie buddy uses them, and isn't an "outside potty-er" before sending away those precious commodities!
I would LOVE a decorated box! How fun, exciting and personal! It's not weird. I'm probably decorating too!
