The UPS Store | Ship Shape Quarterly

Along with bringing April showers and May flowers, spring brings weddings and babies, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and graduations. The spring gift-giving season is a perfect time of the year to show the ones you love – both near and far – how much you care.

Follow these tips to ensure the thought and time you put into your gift selection isn’t washed away by the spring rain.

Rely on the experts
Found the perfect gift, but haven’t a clue how to pack it? Drop it off at The UPS Store to be handled by trained and certified packing professionals.

Ship early
Planning ahead provides you more shipping options.

Track packages
Choose a shipping option, like UPS®, which provides a package tracking number. Tracking affords peace of mind that your package reached its destination on time.

For the Do-It-Yourselfers
Use appropriate packing techniques and materials, such as packaging peanuts and bubble cushioning (at least two inches on all sides), to avoid having to replace damaged gifts. Seal shipping boxes with professional packaging tape. And if you’re ever in doubt, take your gift to your local The UPS Store, where they offer the Pack & Ship Promise.
