Steve: What are you doing?
John: I’m shipping a package.
Steve: No, no, no. Learning how to ship a package is all about the preparation.
John: Who are you talking to?
Steve: Step 1 - Always, always use a new box to reduce the chance of damage. Step 2 - Whether
it’s with bubble wrap, airbags, or those little foam “peanuts,” protect the contents
with at least 2 inches of cushioning. Step 3 - Secure the container with the proper packaging
materials. Use a pressure sensitive plastic or nylon reinforced filament tape that's at
least two inches wide. And Step 4: Label it. When you ship online at ups.com, UPS Internet
Shipping guides you through the required address fields, making it easier for you. Print the
label, place it on the box and you're good to go.
Steve: You got all that?
John: Think so.
Steve: Good. Why don't you start over with a fresh box?
Steve: Packaging solutions made easy. That’s logistics. And that's a mess.
