Prime concern, though, whether the package will get there in time and what will it look like. Will it be in good shape. Here are some tips from 7 on your sides Michael Finney. There are plenty of worries about Holiday Shipping from customers. Generally the biggest complaints are the condition of the box when it arrives. Packaging that showed up damaged was a problem for half of those in a Consumer Reports survey. The most common complaint, high shipping fees. To find the best deal, shopping expert todd martz checked out rates for the u. S. Postal service, Federal Express and ups. We compared the basic price to ship a three pound package like this from our new york headquarters to plano, texas. We shipped it three ways, standard overnight, second day, and ground shipment. The u. S. Postal service was the least expensive every time. For example, its rate for second day delivery was about 12. Fed ex and ups rates were more than 60. Another gripe, valuable packages left outside the door. That happened to more than half of those surveyed and about four in ten have had a package go missing. If you are shipping valuable items, you might want to consider insurance. With ups and fed ex, you automatically are covered for 100. The post office automatically insures most Priority Mail express shipments for up to 100 as well. But you can always buy additional insurance if your item is really expensive. A final complaint . 55 say a package wasnt delivered when promised. Don gives his customers some simple advice. Want to get it there on time and not pay a lot of money, ship early. The u. S. Postal service says if you want a package delivered by christmas, the absolute deadline is december 23rd for express service. Michael finney, 7 on your side. Hate when they arrive in a big ball.
