Shipping Tips

Shipping Tips

Please note: No shipping service will honor any insurance claim on a package that is not properly protected.

Packaging
Even if you are sending us a broken item, you probably don't want it to get smashed into little tiny bits on the way here.

	The best way to ship anything is double boxing. Put your item(s) into small boxes with some packing material then put those boxes into one larger box, also with packing material.
	UPS suggests 2 inches of packing peanuts or bubble wrap around all sides of your package.
	In a pinch, crumpled newspaper will do but often gets crushed easily and then offers almost no protection. Small empty boxes or bags filled with newspaper are much better.
	Shredded paper in a sealed plastic bag.

Shipping Services

UPS If you do not have daily pickup or a drop off location nearby, they may come out to your business for a one time pickup. www.ups.com

USPS Many of our customers send us items via US mail. We only use USPS in certain circumstances. Larger boxes usually cost more via USPS than UPS. Priority mail is sometimes faster than UPS when crossing large distances. USPS does not automatically give you insurance or tracking like UPS and Fedex. www.usps.com

FedEx We frequently receive phones stuffed into FedEx boxes. FedEx does generally treat their packages better than the other guys but we do not recommend squishing your items into any box. You can use any box with FedEx and you can print labels from their web site. www.fedex.com

Mailing services We do not recommend using services like The UPS Store. You will always pay more and it is simple enough to handle on your own.
