Instructions

• 1

  Choose a shipping service. There are many shipping services, including the United States Postal Service (USPS) and the United Parcel Service (UPS), that will ship large items across the United States at reasonable rates. Consider the shipping rates, insurance options and package tracking capabilities before deciding on a service. You can find this information online or by visiting your local shipping store or post office.

  Package your massage table. Since a massage table is a large item, you may need to disassemble the table into it's smaller parts before packaging it. Wrap all parts of the table that may get damaged in transit in a soft material, like bubble wrap or newspaper. After the items are wrapped put the pieces into boxes. Make sure to save screws and other pieces needed to reassemble the table in small plastic bags.

  If you do not feel comfortable packaging the massage table yourself, you can take the table to the shipping center of your choice, and the staff will assist you with the packaging process.

  Address the package. After the massage table is boxed and ready to be shipped, put your address as the return address. Then add the address where the package needs to go in the center of the box. Make sure that the receiving address is correct to prevent any errors or delays in shipping.

  Pay for postage and shipping. If you have done all the packaging in your home or business, you can often pay for and print out packaging labels on your home computer through the USPS or other shipping services' websites. After printing the label, affix it to the package. You can then drop the package off at a local shipping center or schedule a time for your chosen shipping service to pick up the item from your home or business.

  If you choose not to print your own labels, take the packaged massage table to the shipping provider and pay the shipping fees at the drop off location.
