How to pack up a box of donated child clothing

Before you pack anything up make sure the person receiving the box has agreed to pre-pay the S&H fees to you. (It is up to you & them if you want to pay extra for insuring the box)

I firmly advise: Do not use a notice that a signature must be signed at time of delivery because most people are at work and can not sign for the delivery. The box will be returned to the sender and cost the sender or both of you fruitless fees.

Please Work it out between each of you! It can be quicker than you think to help a child with nice clothes

• Use a Corrugated Box (the UPS offers a set affordable price for one size box so pack it tight)
• Whenever possible, use a new box.
• Close and tape the Box Securely with clear shipping tape
• Label your box correctly
• You must make every effort must be made to obtain a street address.
• Always include the recipient's postal code with the complete street address.
• Always include your complete return address, including full street address and postal code.
• Remove or cross out old labels or markings on a used box. This will avoid confusion on the direction for your shipment.
• You might want to include form of identification inside your package

Check shipping fees or track your package at UPS (United States Parcel Service)
