Thread: Mailing Quilts

I'm getting ready to send my first quilt to a LA. What would you suggest is the best way to mail it? Insured? Delivery Confirmation? How should I package it?

TIA

I would use UPS - first $100 of insurance is free, tracking is free.

Yes, I would do everything in my power to keep it safe all the way around!

Should I use their packaging? Or my own?

ask the long arm quilter how she or he suggests you do it too.

be sure to wrap in plastic bag

Great idea!!

Always insure and have delivery confirmation. The plastic bag is a very good idea.

How much should I insure it for?

it is also suggested you indicate it is "textiles" and not quilt. the word quilt is a flag for thieves.
