6 Top Do’s and Dont’s When redirecting a package

You probably already know Dev & Ed, DLVRD’s very own mascots. They’re always helping each other with shipping advice, making shipping easy and of course posing for our social media posts. They come to this edition of the newsletter, for our newest feature, Dev & Ed’s Do’s and Don’ts.

1.    DO, plan your shipments in advance. This will ensure the consignee receives their shipments on time and avoids delays.

2.    DON’T, lie about the package measurements. Carriers always double check and this may add surcharges to your bill.

3.    DO, schedule your pick-ups within a large enough window. The best time to schedule a pick-up is between 2pm and 5pm.

4.    DON’T, try to ship live animals or dead animals. It is prohibited and considered a non-approved restricted item.

5.    DO, ensure that the shipping label is correct. Since that is how the carrier locates the receiver’s address.

6.    DON’T, use the same packaging for every product. Always find the best packaging to ensure the contents are safe.
