Shipping policy

Shipping

We will send you sturdy boxes and prepaid return shipping labels once you place your order online. You will also receive a copy of your order, identifying labels, and instructions on matching your identifier labels to the identifier worksheet. you have downloaded from HistoryIsEverything.com.

Once you have labeled your collection, you will pack the materials in the boxes we supply, attach the shipping label, and either schedule a pick up from the carrier or drop the boxes off at their physical location. We will take over from there!

Although we can not be responsible for damage or loss that may be incurred in transporting the documents, once they arrive, you can rest assured that they are in good hands.

Shipping Tips & Suggestions

• Begin by placing your materials in the box, starting in the middle, and working your way to the edges of the box. Do not overstuff the box, and leave an inch or two of “breathing room” between your materials and the edges of the box. This will help prevent any damage on the off chance a box were to be damaged.
• After you put your materials in the box, try to fill any unoccupied space with a filler to minimize any shifting or movement during transit. Bubble wrap works very well, however, bunched up craft paper or crumpled newspapers backed tightly in the open spaces are effective as well.
• Avoid using styrofoam “peanuts”, they don’t stabilize printed materials very well, and also create quite a mess when we unpack them and are not easy to dispose of in an environmentally responsible way.
• Using plastic sandwich bags, particularly sealable bags, offer an extra layer of protection in the unlikely event of a box being exposed to moisture in the shipping to or from our facility.
• If you would like us to send packing materials like bubble wrap, sleeves, or waterproof bags to aid in the safe shipping of your collection, contact us and we can send you some for only a few dollars.
