I'm not sending for display, shows, et cetera, just my family.
I know about sheets, batting but exactly how do you do it, and who do use? UPS, fED EX, ?
I need to send King sizes, and occasionally wall hangings.
Thanks for any guidance you can share.

MAybe you should get signature confirmation so they can't just leave it at the door or on the box. Make sure you pin the addresses to the quilt on the inside just in case the box gets broken or something.

I use usps, and I love our little post office, rachel gets my things in the smallest of packages and tapes them.i always get delivery confirmation and insure even though they say we should be able to get our upackage info with the insurance slip thats not necessarly true. shes such a little woman and I'll often say, maybe you need to sit on the package to smash it more lol

It's my understanding that in the event of damage or loss by a carrier, you have to prove, meaning document, that the quilt was worth what you insured it for before you can expect payment...things like receipts for the materials or a written appraisal of the finished quilt. That's certainly reasonable, but does anyone know for sure?

If I were sending a quilt I would fold it nicely and place it inside a trash bag and then put it in another trash bag "open end" of the first trash bag first. I would also write the info on a piece of fabric and set it in, then dunk it in water just to make sure the ink doesn't run once its dried pin it onto your quilt, then put it in bags with the information on the piece of fabric the first thing they see if they open the bags up. this way if you just use a piece of paper it could rip off while they are trying to go through the box. and if it gets wet it will smudge on paper. If you put it in two different bags it is less likely that it will get something wet on it and ruin it!
