Delivered When You Need It The items we show on our website and in our printed catalog are stocked in our warehouse...if we offer something for sale, we have it on the shelf. We''ve made the packing supply inventory investment so you don''t have to. Place your order by and we ship that same day. Competitive Prices You''ll notice most every item we offer has pricing that''s driven by the quantity you order. The philosophy is pretty simple: shipping department supply as you order larger quantities, our processing costs (as a percent of your order value) go down…we pass department on those savings to you by offering price breaks on larger quantities. we hope you''ll give us a try and we''ll work very hard to make it a great experience! packaging tips select a box that is strong enough to protect the contents. leave space for cushioning inside the carton. cushion package contents with shredded or rolled newspaper, bubble wrap, or styrofoam peanuts. plain air-popped popcorn is also good for cushioning; it''s inexpensive and environmentally friendly. pack tightly to avoid shifting. supply always use tape that is designed for shipping, such as pressure-sensitive tape, nylon-reinforced kraft shipping supply paper tape, or glass-reinforced pressure-sensitive tape. do not use wrapping paper, string, masking tape, or cellophane tape. put the delivery and return addresses on one side only of the package. suggestion: place a return address label inside the package. stuff glass and fragile hollow items, like vases, with department newspaper or packing material to avoid damage due to shock. when mailing framed photographs, take the glass out of the frame and wrap it separately. remove batteries from toys. supply wrap and place them shipping next to the toys in the mailing box. take packages that weigh at least 1 pound into the post office for mailing. publication 2, packaging for mailing, and publication 227, department and supply preparing packages for mailing, contain more tips and are available free from your post office. obtain express mail and priority mail boxes, envelopes, and tubespurchase packaging products, including tape, envelopes, padded bags, boxes, mailing tubes, and cushioning material, from your shipping post office. some locations offer decorative boxes and expander packs that are suitable for mailing gifts. length divided by height is less than 1.3 or more than 2.5 inches. a surcharge, in addition to the applicable department postage and fees, is applied to each piece supply of nonstandard size mail shipping for two reasons: it compensates the postal service for the added cost of manually handling nonstandard department mail, supply and it promotes the design and use of mail that can be processed mechanically.
