Nov. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- JAMAICA, NY. – This time of year, customers have a ton on their plates, and we don’t mean delicious turkey and stuffing. The experts at The UPS Store ® #5422 Jamaica Center located in Jamaica Queens can ease holiday stress by helping with customers’ holiday logistics.

“Customers are busy running from point A to point B making all the necessary preparations for the holidays,” said The UPS Store franchisee Mr. Dyce. “Whether it’s packing and shipping gifts to loved ones, shipping luggage ahead to grandma’s house, opening a mailbox to receive all those online orders, or printing the family’s holiday newsletter, we’re a one-stop shop that can handle many of our customers’ holiday logistics.”

Mr. Dyce and his team offer professional packing and shipping of your gifts so they arrive safe and sound. For the die-hard DIYers, Mr. Dyce and his staff offer customers the following tips to pack like a pro:

- Begin with the proper materials, including: a new cardboard box designed for shipping (no gift or moving boxes); professional-grade packaging tape (no cellophane, masking or duct tape); and packaging material like foam peanuts or bubble cushioning (no newspapers or real popcorn).
- Include a label inside the package with both the destination and return addresses.
- Use a shipping option, like UPS, that provides a package-tracking number.
- Take batteries out of toys, electronics, etc. before shipping.
- Ship wrapped gifts ahead to your destination, especially if traveling by air.

“It’s also important to use the right size box,” Mr. Dyce said. “You want to leave at least two inches between your gifts and the walls of the box and fill the space with adequate packaging materials.”

“Of course, if you’re in doubt, it’s always good to turn to the professionals. That’s why we’re here,” Mr. Dyce said. “Our assistance is particularly important if you’re shipping fragile or unusually shaped items.”

The UPS Store Jamaica Center also offers the Pack & Ship Promise, which reimburses customers the cost of packaging materials and service as well as shipping costs in the event a center-packed item shipped via UPS is lost or damaged (subject to the lesser of actual value, replacement or repair cost).] More information is available at www.theupsstore.com.

In addition, with only 20 shipping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, good timing is critical. Mondays are typically the busiest shipping days and Dec. 13-17 is expected to be the busiest week of the year.

“But procrastinators need not fear. You can ship as late as Dec. 23 for delivery on Dec. 24,” Mr. Dyce said.

Customers also have an opportunity to help the environment this holiday season.

“Don’t hassle with trying to figure out what to do with all of those pesky packaging peanuts,” Mr Dyce said. “Bring them to us. We accept clean packaging peanuts for reuse.”

The UPS Store Jamaica Center carries a full array of shipping supplies. They also can assist with printing holiday newsletters, programs and invitations. You can even have more time to shop by getting a mailbox at The UPS Store, where holiday helpers can accept all of your online and catalog orders from any carrier and notify you via e-mail or text when you have a package waiting.

The UPS Store #5422 Jamaica Center is located at 153-01 Jamaica Ave, Jamaica, NY and has convenient extended holiday hours: Monday to Friday 8am – 9pm, Saturday 9pm – 6pm and Sundays 12pm – 4pm.
