SALT LAKE CITY, UT – With the winter holiday season quickly approaching, the busy shipping rush for manufacturers and retailers is well underway. And small to mid-size businesses are ramping up to ship thank-you gifts to loyal vendors and clients nationwide.
To help small to mid-size businesses nationwide avoid lost, delayed, or damaged parcels during the peak of the season, Unishippers Global Logistics, LLC, the nation’s first and one of the largest small package and freight shipping resellers, has compiled the following tips to allow for a smooth, painless shipping season.

“The holiday season is always a hectic time in general and can easily become that much more stressful for business owners who are in the dark about how to properly maneuver through the many ins and outs of shipping over the holidays,” said Unishippers President, Kevin Lathrop. “It’s best not to leave anything to chance at an already stressful time of year. Working with a third party logistics provider like Unishippers takes the guesswork out of the process and alleviates shipping concerns so business owners can focus on all of the other details and tasks at hand.”
