(DOES NOT FULLY MATCH AUDIO)
THE GIFT-GIVING SEASON IS HERE. AND, WHETHER YOU DO YOUR SHOPPING ONLINE--OR PURCHASE LOCALLY--KEEP SHIPPING-DEADLINES IN MIND--SO YOUR GIFTS GET THERE IN TIME. ACCORDING TO FEDEX, INSTEAD OF CARRYING WRAPPED PACKAGES WITH YOU DURING YOUR HOLIDAY-TRAVELS, YOU CAN SAVE BOTH TIME AND HASSLE BY, INSTEAD, SENDING YOUR GIFTS ON AHEAD. THE KEY IS CHOOSING THE RIGHT SUPPLIES: FIRST, WORK WITH NEW, STURDY BOXES--WITH THE FLAPS INTACT--AND WITH AT LEAST ONE INCH OF PACKING-MATERIAL, ON ALL SIDES. ALSO, USE A HEAVY-DUTY TAPE THAT'S DESIGNED FOR PACKAGING. AND, MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE THE RIGHT-SIZE BOX--IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE BOTH WEIGHT AND COST. IN ADDITION TO SAVING MONEY BY SHIPPING WITH "FEDEX GROUND" THIS HOLIDAY-SEASON, YOU CAN ALSO SIGN UP FOR AN ACCOUNT AT "'FEDEX'-DOT-COM"--AND GET ADDITIONAL SAVINGS, ON ALL OF YOUR SHIPPING-NEEDS. TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR GIFTS ARRIVE BY CHRISTMAS, REMEMBER THAT THE LAST DAY TO SHIP WITH "FEDEX GROUND" IS DECEMBER 17TH--AND THAT THE LAST DAY TO SHIP WITH "FEDEX EXPRESS" IS DECEMBER 23RD. CHECK WITH YOUR NEAREST FEDEX-LOCATION, FOR PACKING-TIPS AND -SUPPLIES. TO LEARN MORE, VISIT "FEDEX"-DOT-COM.
