THE GIFT-GIVING SEASON IS HERE. AND, WHETHER YOU SHOP ONLINE, OR BUY LOCALLY, KEEP SHIPPING-DEADLINES IN MIND--SO YOUR GIFTS GET THERE IN TIME. ACCORDING TO FEDEX, YOU CAN TAKE THE HASSLE OUT OF CARRYING WRAPPED PACKAGES WITH YOU, THIS YEAR--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, MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE THE RIGHT-SIZE BOX--IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE WEIGHT AND COST. YOU CAN ALSO SHIP EARLY, IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY, THIS HOLIDAY-SEASON--USING "FEDEX GROUND" AND "FEDEX EXPRESS" TWO-DAY AND EXPRESS-SAVER SERVICES. WHAT'S MORE, BY SIGNING UP FOR AN ACCOUNT AT "FED-EX"-DOT-COM, YOU CAN GET ADDITIONAL SAVINGS, ON ALL OF YOUR SHIPMENTS. TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR GIFTS ARRIVE BY CHRISTMAS, REMEMBER THAT THE LAST DAY TO SHIP WITH "FEDEX GROUND" IS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17TH--AND THE LAST DAY TO SHIP WITH "FEDEX EXPRESS" IS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23RD. CHECK WITH YOUR NEAREST FEDEX-LOCATION, FOR PACKING-TIPS AND -SUPPLIES. TO LEARN MORE, VISIT "FED-EX"-DOT-COM.
