We have spent over two decades specializing in the safe transport of all sorts of goods, so we are full of secure gift-moving tips. The below guide should help you safely transport fragile packages in December.

Consider Buying Online

Purchasing presents online is becoming more and more common, and it offers a great way to ensure that your holiday packages arrive at their destinations safe and sound. Online shopping offers an excellent way to keep holiday gifts and packages safe in transit. Choosing to buy and ship items directly from websites is also more convenient than wrapping and packing the items yourself. Buying gifts online will allow you to give the gifts you want without the hassle.

Use a Shipping Company

UPS and FedEx can help guarantee the safe transport of your holiday gifts so that you don’t have to worry about packing and carrying them yourself. If you choose to use a shipping company this holiday season, be sure to safely pack up your gifts (use bubble wrap if necessary) and consider purchasing insurance so that you will have peace of mind should something go wrong. You might also want to think about shipping several items together to make this method of gift delivery more cost-effective.

Ship to a Local Store

If you are purchasing a lot of gifts from the same retailer, you might consider asking the store to ship them to one of their locations closer to your destination. Many large stores offer this option, which is much more convenient than carrying your presents on an airplane or road trip.

Pack Gifts Carefully

Packing gifts carefully is essential if you are carrying them with you on an airplane or in the car. If you are flying, be sure to research the weight restrictions of your airline ahead of time to avoid any last-minute issues. It will also help you to have quality packing materials on hand to ensure that everything arrives in one piece. We recommend purchasing the following:

  • Bubble Wrap
  • Tape
  • Newspaper
  • Cardboard
  • Foam Sheets
  • Packing Paper
