5b. Select “Include new items which arrive in my inbox” if you want us to include the mail that comes in from the date you submit the request to the date the request will be processed. (NOTE: this is only for a future shipment date and doesn’t apply if you are shipping the same day.)

5c. If you require a signature, we can offer this for select carrier methods.

5d. Add details into Packing Instructions if you have any labeling, consolidating, or shipping instructions. It is much more efficient for our warehouse team to follow instructions here rather than contacting our support team directly.

Important note: When we consolidate your items, we will remove the outer packaging for softpaks and packages. Letters will not be opened. If you wish to have the outer packaging included on your package items, let our team know in the Packing Instructions box.
