Guidelines to Send Your Package
If you can’t make it in to our office to drop your tapes and media in by hand, follow our guidelines. Perfect packaging means make sure it’s well packed to arrive intact!
Knocks and bumps happen along the way. Even though couriers take care of your package, it’s best to ensure your items are packed well to ensure your tapes and other media arrives in our studio just as it was when it left your home.
6 Simple Steps for Mailing Your Package to Us
1. Include Your Details and Special Instructions:
- Write your contact details and any special instructions on a note.
- Place the note inside your parcel along with your tapes and other media.
2. Remove Old Labels:
- Ensure there are no other tracking labels attached to your parcel.
3. Print Address Label:
- Print the address label to
Moving Memories
PO Box 88
BARDWELL PARK NSW 2207
4. Add Sender Information:
- Fill in your name, address, and mobile phone number in the “from” section of your address label.
5. Attach Label:
- Firmly stick the address label to the front of your package, covering any previous delivery addresses or barcodes.
6. Visit Australia Post:
- Take your package to an Australia Post office and obtain a tracking number.
- Send that tracking number to us via SMS at 0411 322 995 or email us from the contact page
Using AusPost
If you choose to send your package to us via AusPost, we find it’s best to use express post or a similar service that provides tracking of your parcel.
And if AusPost is your prefered method we suggest you clearly label your parcel with our name, address AND mobile phone number on the front as follows:
Moving Memories
PO Box 88
BARDWELL PARK NSW 2207
phone 0411 322 995
We also strongly recommend the following points:
- include your address and mobile number in the senders details on the back or your parcel
- Send via Express Post
- Make sure you get a tracking number and send that number to us so we can keep an eye out for your parcel
- No need for signature on delivery
If you’re using a Satchel
Be sure not to overstuff your satchels – they are built to be durable (but not invincible), which means overstuffing may cause breakage.
If your parcel is particularly fragile, please do this in addition to the above:
- Definitely double-box your parcel (placing one container inside another with a cushioning material such as scrunched up newspaper, foam or similar).
- Pad each item separately with bubble/foam wrap, tissue paper or newspaper (this is especially important for items with sharp edges, for obvious safety reasons).
- Pay special attention to the corners, edges and bits that stick out (we recommend sealing all exposed edges of your parcel with tape).
- Use strong rigid material larger than the object to minimise chances of crushing if it is a photo or drawing etc.
- Mark with appropriate labels (for example: write ‘fragile’, ‘this way up’).
Treat Your Memories with Love and follow our 5 Simple Steps for Packaging Perfection
If you decide to send us your items to us, please remember to follow these steps:
- Make sure your label is clearly displayed, unobstructed and stuck on firmly to the outside of your package.
- Ensure your box, parcel and packaging materials are strong and durable. A hard container to pack your items in will protect them from damage.
- Cushion items inside your parcel with bubble wrap or packing medium to prevent excessive movement and rattling.
- Use strong packing tape to seal your parcel tightly.
- Don’t just rely on stickers marked “Fragile” or Handle with Care”. Always secure your items with the best materials you have on hand.
Please Don’t Use These!
Always ensure your parcel is in a strong cardboard box, or similar & clearly labelled. We don’t recommend sending parcels packaged only in:
- Plastic bags
- Bubble wrap
- Anything else transparent
- Fragile stickers instead of proper packaging
