Some questions one may ask and the answers I would provide.
- How do I package a quilt to be mailed or shipped? The way you ship a quilt is to first make sure it is all folded neatly,you can fold the backing and top together if you would like. I would then find a ZipLock bag (at Walmart) that is their XXL, put inside, and you can literally sit on the quilt in a bag and squeeze all the air out. Package it, remembering to put a http://suezquilts.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/suezquilts_business_order_test1.pdf in the package completely filled out.
- Should I insure the package? Yes if you would like, and let me know the return insurance amount.
- Mailing label? Please address it to Sue Tuma, 24653 CTH X, Cashton WI 54619 no mention of quilt in the label
- Cost of mailing vs UPS? It is sometimes less to go UPS, if there is a large package it would be more economical. Size is always an issue. If you are in our area here WI MN and the surrounding states Speedy is another option.
- What happens when my quilt arrives? First, if you are shipping, please email me, I watch for your quilt to arrive, and then email you to say “the quilt is here and safe!”. I then hang it and attach the order form to it.
- Return shipping? When I return the quilt or quilts, I usually use the same shipping you have used, or if indicated I will ship the least expensive method. Insurance is up to you, but I usually put some on.
When your quilt arrives. Please give me an email suezquilts@centurytel.net so I know. This is the best time for me, hearing your quilt has arrived and how you like it. I never tire of the first thoughts.
This is a brief summary of Shipping a quilt to a longarmer. As a Long arm quilter I want to care for your quilt as if it were my own. Actually I have a few of my own hanging next to my customer quilts. Drop me an email if you have questions.
