So we're at the tail end of a huuge order from canada for our onesies/tees http://www.googooandgaga.com and now we're ready to ship!! I know it might be a dumb question but how do you pack your boxes for large orders? I know there's a lot of clothing lines here and printers who may have some tips and tricks on shipping large quantities in multiple boxes. Please share them!!! 2009-09-03T22:06:08-04:00 6 2009-09-03T21:48:59-04:00 true 0 73381 false false 2940 1259 2 2009-11-21T14:47:14-05:00 193 balikbayan box! 73381 Post 2009-09-03T21:50:46-04:00 2313071 2940 2009-09-03T21:51:15-04:00 make sure you ship using some company that allows tracking during the entire process. its more costly but will save potential issues from arising with the where is my stuff emails. they can follow it as well. it might not be a bad idea to line the boxes with bubble wrap or something to provide a small barrier in case the package gets punctured somehow which is entirely possible. id make sure each package also has an invoice/packing slip listing what is in each box too so they can pull all of those and count in easier. and this may sound dumb, but tons of tape. its easier to use too much then have to repackage and pay for another shipment or potential lost goods. and congrats on the order. if its big enough for a palette you can always do it that way and they wrap it all together tightly. 73381 Post 2009-09-03T21:52:45-04:00 2313081 1271 2009-09-03T21:52:45-04:00 Just took a look at your site, those will be some stylin kids 73381 Post 2009-09-03T21:53:14-04:00 2313091 10311 2009-09-03T21:53:14-04:00 haha ofcourse i have those already! Just need tips on actually packing those boxes like where to tape it, etc. I've also seen some boxes lined with plastic inside them so wondering if other people have nice tips for packing them right! =) 73381 Post 2009-09-03T21:54:50-04:00 2313121 1259 2009-09-03T21:54:50-04:00 <blockquote><cite>{miles to go} said:</cite> make sure you ship using some company that allows tracking during the entire process. its more costly but will save potential issues from arising with the where is my stuff emails. they can follow it as well. it might not be a bad idea to line the boxes with bubble wrap or something to provide a small barrier in case the package gets punctured somehow which is entirely possible. id make sure each package also has an invoice/packing slip listing what is in each box too so they can pull all of those and count in easier. and this may sound dumb, but tons of tape. its easier to use too much then have to repackage and pay for another shipment or potential lost goods. and congrats on the order. if its big enough for a palette you can always do it that way and they wrap it all together tightly.</blockquote> yes we're using fedex, which is our client's courier. some pretty useful tips. i will surely take those into consideration. thanks greg! 73381 Post 2009-09-03T22:00:25-04:00 2313201 1259 2009-09-03T22:00:25-04:00 just make sure to insure the hell out of it, packages CAN be stolen, if it does (most likely not to happen but cant take any chances on a order this huge) fedex will give you a nice check for them being careless. 73381 Post 2009-09-03T22:06:07-04:00 2313261 2940 2009-09-03T22:06:07-04:00
