Shipping? So I've never shipped anything before... lol and I want to ship my buddy's package on monday. Can I just put it in any box and take it to the post office? or how does that work? |
You can use any box if you take off any or sross off any old addresses. And tape it good. If you want to send priority you can use one of the Post office boxes. Make sure you get a trackiong number. |
Yes, you could put it in any box and take it to the post office. There, they will ask you the zipcode where it is going to and how soon you want it there. They will give you a price for each option. Also, consider putting insurance on the box and get delivery confirmation and PM the number to ADMIN. (I usually ship priority mail) :) You could also ship via FEDEX, UPS, or DHL. Same applies as above or you could purchase a box there. Have fun :p |
dont forgot to take out insurance also incase it gets lost that way your buddy isn't out of anything. Don't forget also to PM adm with your tracking number and then tease us and post a thread telling a little girl or boy a packing is coming there way! |
If there is anything breakable in it, wrap it really good in bubble wrap before taping the box up. |
The post office can also give you free priority boxes too. - if you don't have any boxes. Ditto to everything everyone else has said. Wrap any breakables and treats, definitely get insurance, etc. (PM all info to Admin). The post office will weigh your package and give you the price options - but if you get the free priority box, of course, you have to ship it priority. A lot of times, priority shipping is only a little more (like 60 cents or something). Hope you have had fun shopping! |

Sorry I didn't get back online until today. Have you shipped your package? I am thinking that any of the priority boxes are free....I do not mail that often, but I am positive that is what the postal worker told me the other day! Any size. |

I have home pick up all the time. (I do Ebay a lot) But you have to be able to weigh box accurately, add insurance and tracking. You can do all that at home with your computer and a printer. Go to the USPS web site..sign up for an account...pretty easy.Then there is a link to have postal worker pick up package, you put in date and where pkg will be and how much it weighs... Priority boxes are free at post office, jusy ask and they will give you size you need. |

Speaking of home mailing - where do you get a good scale and are they worth the money and accurate?? |
