Common delivery issues and how to avoid them
When shipping a care package to a sibling by courier, you want to make sure it arrives safely to its destination, with no hassles. Here are some easily avoidable issues with courier deliveries and how you can avoid them when preparing a sibling care package:
Some addresses, i.e. University campus, apartment buildings etc., require additional information such as access codes or intercom instructions to gain entry. Always provide all relevant information, including names of consignees, entrances etc. to ensure your sibling care package delivery can happen.
If your brother or sister live in a
rural or remote area, this may cause longer transit times and delays. When shipping care packages to a brother or sister abroad, make sure you check the
estimated delivery times carefully.
You don’t want your sibling’s care package to arrive damaged, so make sure you pack your parcel well and instruct the receiver to check the package carefully upon delivery.
Providing the correct address when shipping a care package to a sibling by courier might seem straight-forward, but it is the most common reason for failed deliveries and returned packages. To avoid confusion, follow our example below, and be sure to provide a local telephone number for the local courier to contact in case they decide to call, regarding your package.
