Special instructions

  • Bundle plastic shipping bags with your other stretchy plastic bags and securely tie closed. Loose bags create equipment jams at the sorting facility which is why they need to be bagged together in order to be recycled properly.
  • Mailing labels are ok to leave on the packaging if they don’t easily come off.
