Guidelines for Shipping Materials |
|
In preparing your precious mementoes for shipment, we suggest that you take advance precaution particularly when shipping fragile, or breakable, objects. If you have access to a commercial shipping outlet, we strongly encourage you to consider taking advantage of their expertise. If you are preparing packages yourself, we suggest that extra care be taken by wrapping materials in tissue paper and bubble wrap, and placing a smaller box containing your items inside of a larger box, also layered with additional tissue or bubble wrap for added padding. These measures will help to provide appropriate protection during shipment, minimizing the risk of damage. You may also want to purchase shipping insurance for your materials. The following three websites provide information about some of the better known packing and shipping service suppliers:

Once we have received and reviewed the materials, we will send you a signed copy of this form, for your records, and will include any materials that you have requested to be returned.
