Prep for Mailing:
In addition to the general prep directions found under FAQs, please:
- Place your quilt top in a plastic bag, in order to protect it in the event something
leaks at the Post Office.
- Choose a box large enough for the completed quilt to be returned to you. Just fold
one of your finished, similar-sized quilts and find a box that would fit
it.
- Before closing the box, make sure you've included the completed order form
printed from my website, checking to make certain you've included all your
contact information. I will notify you when I receive your quilt, and any
further requests/concerns can be addressed at that time.
- Do not, under any circumstances, indicate on the box that the box contains a
quilt. Everyone loves quilts - even post office workers!
- Mark it 'Fragile' but that's all. If you need to indicate the contents for insurance purposes, list it as fabric or bedding.
Really, shipping is not that difficult. Try to find a box that is pretty close to what you are shipping. In this case, the box was way too large for the content, resulting in a squashed box. Also, the contents were not in a plastic bag or anything. It was fortunate that the contents did not spill out when the box split.
When we return your finished quilt, we always use new packaging, and there is not any mention of what is inside.
If you are in the area, we encourage you to come to the shop and deliver your quilt top. If that is not possible, we are thrilled to receive your quilt top through the mail. That is OK. We will give your quilt the attention it deserves.
