Courier Packing & Labeling Requirements
Please use the following guidelines when preparing materials for courier delivery:
- Clearly label all materials with the destination using the Velocity Express 3 or 4 letter codes.
- Label items using the blue routing slips which are available from CDLC.
- Have all the slips in the materials facing the same direction.
- Items being sent to schools must be labeled with the school library system code first, followed by the name of the school.
- Place clearly labeled items in the delivery tote which should be in the same place every day.
- No tote or item should weigh more than 50 pounds.
- Do not send fragile items, large equipment, large furniture, or materials that are rare or irreplaceable.
- Place the daily log (blue 3 ring binder provided by CDLC) on top of outgoing materials. The driver will sign it and place the binder on top of incoming materials. The log will show the number of bags or boxes picked up and delivered on each day.
- All totes will be taken to Velocity Express’s central location to be sorted, then delivered the next day.
