I am going to be shipping floral arrangements. How do I go about obtaining the best rates from the best shippers like UPS, Fed-Ex, etc. Who are the more reliable shippers?
What are some cost effective ways to ship delicate items?
Are your arrangement live or silk?
If silk - go to your local office supply store and purchase some bubble wrap - great for packing and virtually weightless. Wrap well in bubble wrap for protection and then place in box. Tape well and mark fragile. Then go on-line and check the best rates for your destination and weight and time frame for arrival.
If it is live - your local florist can send for you - they have the packing experience for live plants and great rates already established with their shipper.
Reply:Shipping delicate items is never cheap.. if you absolutely have to ship them, use a professional courier company, such as FedEx or DHL.
Reply:i think fed ex is a good place to start and get it insured
Reply:Problem is how your package is handled by each individual employee. Both Fed-Ex and UPS work well. But you have to assume your package will take some mishandling and abuse. Make sure to label %26quot;fragile%26quot; multiple times, and package well enough to survive mild crushing and drops.
