Shipping Information

HOW TO PREP YOUR SHIPMENTS

Sort all goods according to type
Pack all canned goods and hard cardboard boxes, if any, first
Try to buy products packaged in plastic rather than glass, whenever possible
Soft items such as tissue paper and any other soft, cushioning items should be packed around the bottles to give extra support. These items will also help maximize the capacity you fill in the barrel.
Clothing should be placed at the top of the barrel, preferably in plastic bags to prevent damage from any possible spillage.
Perfumed items, such as bath soaps, should be placed on top, away from dry goods and food items, such as, flour, rice and sugar. If you are shipping more than one barrel, separate these items, putting them in different barrels.

Labeling your barrels correctly eliminates errors and speeds up the entire shipping process.
Label barrel/shipment with the correct name and address of your party at destination, include phone number if possible.
Make sure to include the correct spelling of the name and address that is on your party's identification
In order to properly identify barrel/shipment please write party's name and address clearly on the barrel/shipment. This should be done both on the top and on the sides of barrel/shipment, so that they are clearly identifiable. Also write your name and address as the shipper of the barrel/shipment. You can do this much like you would address a letter.
Fill out a "Shipper Letter of Instructions" sheet and include a detailed packing list, keep all your purchase receipts until your shipment has safely arrived and delivered to its final destination. You can print this form here and have it filled out and ready before you deliver or we pick up your barrel/shipment. Double check that the information that is on your documents is the same as on the actual barrel/shipment.
Boxes should be properly reinforced and taped and pallets should be shrink wrapped and preferably strapped for protection of the cargo.
