Proper Packaging Ensures safe Arrival

UPS handles and ships an average of 15.6 million packages and documents each day. It's closer to 20 million daily during the holidays. Even with a .001 percent damage rate, that’s more than 15,000 damaged packages daily. And that’s just UPS!

The Post Office has even a greater package volume and FedEx also has a good share of the shipping market. That means the potential exists for a lot of items to be damaged while being shipped.

The primary cause of damage is improperly packed items. This means that incorrect materials such as used cartons and newspaper were used as packing material.

In addition, carriers often reject damage claims if items are improperly packaged!

Save some anxiety and let the staff at Postal Connections expertly pack your items. The packaging will properly cushion and protect the item(s) you are sending and the shipping box will be perfect. Happy Shipping!



The Benefits of Play and Family Time Together



Rituals like summer vacations are important to bonding families and improving the well-being of each member.
  • The Sun: Vitamin D, when produced by the sun, is free! Plus, it’s essential for keeping the bones healthy, the immune systems clicking and the nervous system working normally. As little as 5 to 15 minutes in the sun daily, gives you all the vitamin D you need.
  • Play: Some consider play as the single most significant factor in determining success and happiness. It involves pleasure, surprise and anticipation. Adults who play, bring balance to their lives.
  • Relationships: Strengthening a marriage and a family can come from spending time together to enrich relationships. Traditions like vacations make memories, the glue that binds us. They can provide the opportunity to talk to one another, discover new interests and learn new skills
  • Love: Children who see grandparents and parents enjoying themselves learn valuable life lessons and feel love, support and safety in their young lives.
  • Stress Relief: Vacation helps shrink anxiety and stress while boosting the mental health of every family member. We all need brain breaks! It takes effort to unplug but the rewards are many... so, take some time off and have a blast this summer!
