Christmas is approaching fast, and for people who have family far away this year, having presents delivered through UPS, FedEx, or the Postal Service is something very important to them. Wrap Pack and Ship in Taylorville offers a local service through UPS to make sure those packages get to the waiting loved ones on time. Larry Peterson, owner of Wrap Pack and Ship said one important thing to think about when sending these packages is insurance to make sure, if anything happens, those gifts can be replaced.

Peterson said the insurance covers theft and broken items. And to make sure the items don't get broken and are packed correctly it might be worth it to have the professionals pack it, instead of doing it yourself.

Peterson affirmed if people are trying to get their packages to their destination by Christmas, UPS will get them there within 4 days domestically. He said if those packages are going outside of the country, find out ahead of time how long it will take.
