PACKAGE PREPARATION GUIDELINES

An improperly prepared package can experience shipping delays, delivery failures, damage in transit, or carrier rejection. Please assure your package is carefully prepared according to the following guidelines:

1. Use a sturdy box appropriate for the contents and shipping method.

   • NOTE: Styrofoam containers must be placed within a cardboard box. FedEx will not accept exposed Styrofoam shipments.

   • When reusing a box:

     • Remove all previous shipping labels, address stickers, barcodes, and markings.

     • Cross out or completely cover any pre-printed information on the box that does not pertain to your current shipment (e.g., old company names, product descriptions, handling instructions).

     • Ensure the exterior is clean and free of any writing or markings that could obscure the shipping address or confuse the shipping process.

2. Securely seal all holes, seams, and/or openings with packing tape.

   • Shipping materials including packing tape, cushioning fillers, cardboard boxes, dry ice labels, and other essentials are available in the Administrative Office.

3. Label all shipments containing dry ice.

   • A dry ice label must be filled out and affixed to the front of all shipments containing dry ice.
