While the holidays have always been the time of year when shipping goes in overdrive, this year will be affected more than ever. With some employees still working from home, it’s not just gifts that are being delivered but tools to make sure that your office runs smoothly. In order to make sure your packages continue being received smoothly, here are some tips.
Get Organized
Before the shipping season commences, take inventory of what you have: Labels, boxes, tapes and other things. Make sure you are stocked before the rush begins. Reach out to your Garvey’s representative, and they can give you a rough estimate of how many supplies you ordered last holiday season.
Consider Investing in Tools
A lot of shipping lag comes from time being invested in the mundane. Tape dispensers, supply carts and storage units are all tools geared to make you work more efficiently.
Invest in Safety Supplies
Another reason shipping can come to a halt is because someone is injured on the job or out sick. Make sure to stock up on gloves, face masks, glasses and face shields to prevent workplace accidents and the spread of viruses.
