Pak Mail Estimate Disclaimer

Please understand the estimate we will provide you is based upon weights, dimensions, values, or other information provided to Pak Mail Anderson Mill by you or your authorized representative and may include approximations based upon the information you have provided, to which we have access, or which we have derived from our experience in this business.  In the event the figures used to calculate this estimate were not actual weights, values, or measures this estimate may be adjusted up or down to reflect the actual, after-packaged figures. 

As each custom packing and shipping request is unique, so too is each estimate. Following are some general parameters and considerations for Pak Mail Anderson Mill’s estimate. Please call 512-249-SHIP (7447) with any additional questions.

Important definitions

Non-fragile
Non-fragile refers to items that are not easily damaged or broken, such as books, clothes, and paper goods.

Fragile
Items that are categorized as fragile are susceptible to damage and require more attention and packaging. Generally, these items will be packaged with bubble wrap, styrofoam, and/or other types of packaging materials to prevent movement and provide a cushion for the items being shipped. Fragile items can include things such as telephones, small picture frames, and toys.

Very fragile
Items that are categorized as very fragile are easily breakable and/or sensitive and may or may not have a high value. These items generally require additional packaging with bubble wrap, styrofoam, and/or other packaging materials as well as double box packaging (a box within a box). Very fragile items include items such as china, computers, stereo equipment, and porcelain.

Extremely fragile
Items that are categorized as extremely fragile are easily breakable and/or sensitive and will have a high value. These items generally require additional packaging with bubble wrap, styrofoam, and/or other packaging materials as well as double box packaging (a box within a box), and/or wood crating. Extremely fragile items include things such as artwork, high-value china, computer systems, and stereo equipment.
