Note: the cost of shipping increases if someone else wraps or packs your package(s) for you. The cost of the packing service may depend on the type, size and/or weight of the item you want to ship. To save money, consider packing the item yourself, bearing in mind that certain items cannot be sent by certain couriers. When in doubt about what can and cannot be sent, ask the courier by which you intend to send it.
