Although we don’t exactly recommend it, Pak Mail could ship your delicate, hand-decorated Easter eggs anywhere in the world. On Sunday, March 31st, families and friends will gather to celebrate spring, the season of new life. Even if you can’t be with all the people you love, you can send a gift to show you care. Here are some tips for successful Easter shipping this year.
Get started soon. Purchasing and shipping early is the best way to save money and ensure your gifts arrive in time for Easter. Sunday delivery is hard to find (and pricey), so plan on having your gifts delivered by Friday, March 29th.
Avoid shipping perishable items. Candy is the norm for Easter, but sending perishable items like chocolate or marshmallow bunnies is not advised. You can pay extra to ensure a constant temperature throughout shipment, but it’s probably easier to stick to hard candy.
Get advice from shipping experts. Talk to the shipping experts at your local Pak Mail to help pack and ship Easter gifts safely and securely. Whether you need boxes, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or tape, Pak Mail can get your package where it needs to go – guaranteed.
Tips for shipping Easter baskets:
- Avoid sending baskets with handles. Handles require a much larger box and make it more difficult to secure items inside the basket.
- Only send candy that won’t melt. Jelly beans and hard candy are your best bet.
- Tape plastic eggs shut so contents won’t spill. Or, use Easter stickers to secure the eggs.
- Crafts, small trinkets, and games are a great replacement for chocolate.
- Never send hard-boiled decorated eggs. If you want to send Easter eggs, try the Ukrainian tradition of Pysanky where empty egg shells are decorated. These are great for shipping because they cannot go bad and weigh very little.
Pak Mail recommends shipping any gifts by Thursday March 28th, to ensure delivery in time for Easter. Visit your neighborhood Pak Mail location for help packing and shipping Easter gifts to your loved ones.
