So... I could use some info/help 🙂
I’m planning to ship a package from Washington, D.C. to Miami via FedEx today, with the goal of having it arrive at the recipient's address by 3:00 PM tomorrow.
The items being sent are drawer organizers weighing about 20-25 kg, and to fit everything, the box should be roughly 100x50x60 cm (LxWxH). Since the total dimensions come to 350 cm, it looks like I'll be charged based on weight according to their website.
I have two main questions:
a) What is the absolute latest I can complete the online shipping label and have the package picked up from my house to ensure it arrives by tomorrow afternoon?
b) Any tips on packaging? The local post office doesn't carry boxes this large, so if I manage to find one myself, are there specific rules for labeling or taping it? Specifically, I'm shipping 7 pull-out wardrobe baskets from eBay (each is 100x40x58 cm) and 4 pull-out pant hangers, also from eBay.
Thanks everyone for any help 😁
