BUSY AIRPORTS, LONG LINES, AND CHECKED-LUGGAGE FEES MAKE SHIPPING GIFTS AND LUGGAGE AN EASY, CONVENIENT, AND ECONOMICAL TRAVEL-OPTION, THIS HOLIDAY-SEASON. ACCORDING TO FEDEX, YOU CAN TAKE THE HASSLE OUT OF HAULING AROUND WRAPPED PACKAGES--AND SAVE MONEY--BY SENDING YOUR GIFTS ON AHEAD. THE KEY IS CHOOSING THE RIGHT SUPPLIES: MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE 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, OF COURSE, MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE THE RIGHT-SIZE BOX--IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE BOTH WEIGHT AND COST. IN ADDITION, YOU SHOULD PLAN AHEAD--IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY, THIS HOLIDAY-SEASON--BY USING FEDEX GROUND AND FEDEX EXPRESS "TWO-DAY" AND "EXPRESS SAVER" SERVICES. WHAT'S MORE, YOU CAN GET ADDITIONAL SAVINGS--ON ALL OF YOUR SHIPMENTS--BY SIGNING UP FOR AN ACCOUNT AT "FEDEX"-DOT-COM. CONTACT YOUR HOTEL OR DESTINATION, IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT SOMEONE CAN ACCEPT YOUR SHIPMENT IN ADVANCE OF YOUR ARRIVAL--AND HAS A SECURE LOCATION TO STORE IT, UNTIL YOU ARRIVE. AND, CHECK WITH YOUR NEAREST FEDEX-LOCATION, FOR PACKING-TIPS AND -SUPPLIES. TO LEARN MORE, VISIT "FEDEX"-DOT-COM.
