Chief Boatwright
announces
retirement
Best of the blotter 2010
F
olly Beach Public Safety Director
Terry Boatwright recently
announced his retirement, effective
at the end of January.
Chief Boatwright served the city for
four years and says the time is right as
he nears his 60th birthday, after 36 years
in law enforcement. He heads both the
police and fire departments. A search is
currently underway to find his successor,
and Mayor Tim Goodwin is hopeful that a
replacement will be found before February
without utilizing an interim director.
Goodwin praised Boatwright's service
during his time with Folly Beach, and
both insist the decision is amiable.
Boatwright began his time at Folly
as the interim public safety director in
January 2007, after the retirement of
longtime chief George Tittle. Boatwright's
legacy includes the introduction of county
deputies to augment the city's force, a
move that initially ruffled feathers but has
since proved effective.
A Hanahan native and Vietnam
veteran, Boatwright began his Lowcountry
law enforcement career in 1975. The Folly
Current bids him farewell and wishes him
the best in his future endeavors.

A road or a river?
Getting Red Sunset Lane onto dry land
P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n h e a r i n g - M o n d a y, D e c . 6
By Stratton Lawrence

A
meeting to discuss drainage and
flooding issues at 9th Street West
and Red Sunset Lane attracted
about a dozen concerned residents. Clint
Howard and Chris Carleston were on
hand as representatives of Charleston
County.
Zoning Administrator Aaron Pope
began the meeting by clarifying that a
study of drainage and road realignment
was a proposal, NOT a fully funded,
ready-to-go project. The study would
examine, among other things, moving
road built through private lots makes for
a sticky situation.
Howe Davis of 816 West Ashley spoke
on behalf of nature, worrying that a new
bridge or further improvements could
damage the wildlife habitat that still
remains along the Folly River between
6th and 9th blocks West. “In the name
of progress, developers end up butchering
wetlands, trees, and foliage for personal
gain,” said Davis. “It’s time to put a stop
to unnecessary developments and protect
the trees, the grass, and the wildlife that
An engineer pointed out that any
changes to the marsh require mitigation
and preserving marsh elsewhere, a tricky
task. The area in question sits between
two tidal flows, essentially a flood plain.
Red Sunset Lane resident Darlene Rawls
said she’d like her water meter moved and
rocks put into the road to divert water,
saying the flooding has gotten steadily
worse since the 1990s. Is Red Sunset
Lane an early Folly victim of rising sea
levels?
Planning Commission Chair LaJuan
Kennedy concluded the meeting,
recommending that a study go forward.
The final assertion was that public funds
would not be put into private property.
Currently, Red Sunset Lane runs partially
across private property and partially in a
publicly owned right-of-way. Either the
existing road would have to be abandoned
and moved to the right-of-way, or a new
right-of-way along the existing road would
need to be required to utilize government
funding for any improvements to Red
Sunset Lane.

the right-of-way to the city-owned
plot  and raising the roadway to control
drainage. Red Sunset Lane resident and
City Councilman Paul Hume said that
he'd measured water on the road at 21.5
inches of tidal salt water. It stands for
days and prevents residents from 'growing
anything.' Hume suggested building a
berm or raising select areas of ground to
funnel water off the road.

Beach Patrol: who’s the boss?

F o l l y C i t y C o u n c i l S p e c i a l W o r k S e ss i o n - T u e s d a y, D e c . 7 Lynn Pierotti

R
owdy visitors and trash on the
beach are a pain, but it’s how to
clean up after them that’s ruffling
feathers in the off-season.
Council gathered to work out a
system for beach management amidst
three coexisting programs. Resident Jim
Setford began by volunteering himself
and Karl Haley to adopt and clean the
13th block East area of the beach, acting
as a “poster child type of thing” for future
volunteers. Mayor Tim Goodwin thanked
them, but explained that the Army Corps
of Engineers had recommended against
placing sand fencing on the beach.
Councilmember DJ Rich asked if
putting fencing between dune rows
would help, and Mayor Goodwin said
he’d ask. Setford then answered his cell
phone while still addressing council. His
heat was out during a very cold week,
he explained, and it was the repairman
calling.
Nancy Smith of 1207 Tabby Drive
spoke to support sand fencing, and
expressed dismay that the Civilian Beach
Patrol had been suspended in September.
“The beach is not a business that only
needs attention when the customers
come,” said Smith. “It’s the reason for
our existence.”
Currently, three beach patrol programs
exist: the paid Civilian Beach Patrol,
the Volunteer Program, and the Public
Safety Patrol. Council discussed hiring a
new person or contractor to oversee all
three, but support was weak and money
not readily available.
Council asked outgoing Police Chief
Terry Boatwright if he could coordinate
a system of management under Public
Safety by March 1. Boatwright said some
work could be done, but an entirely new
system could not be in place by then.
“Which bite of this elephant is most
beneficial to take by February?” asked
Mayor Goodwin.
Councilman Eddie Ellis then spoke up
about the tangible results and successful
summer of litter control by the Civilian
Beach Patrol. Surfrider Foundation
has offered $4,000 to continue the
program, and DJ Rich said the restaurant
association would match that, if the city
would contribute an equal portion.
At a previous meeting, the estimated
cost of maintaining CBP was $14,000,
a sum Ellis voted against after offering
Kristin Hackler
support for the program. Goodwin managing editor
pointed this out and Ellis commented kristin@luckydognews.com
that he felt “beat up on.” The pair
squabbled for a moment, prompting Stratton Lawrence

and made several attempts to put his
face in the officer’s face. After being
told several times to step back and calm
down, he became defiant and it took both
officers to hold him against the cruiser
while he was searched for contraband.
Another officer arrived to assist and it
took them several minutes to get the
subject into the patrol car. At the jail, the
subject became violent and threatened
the officers. The TAC team at the jail was
finally able to subdue him and the subject
was charged with disorderly conduct and
booked into a cell.
He was just looking for his vacuum
cleaner
On March 13 officers responded to a
theft and vandalism at an E. Ashley
home. The victim thought her ex-
boyfriend had committed the act because
they had gotten into a heated argument
the night before at Snapper Jacks when
he created a scene and was kicked out.
She said he had a history of being violent
with her and she had called the police
on him when they were living together.
A blue upright vacuum cleaner valued at
$100 had been stolen. Food and drink
was splattered all over the kitchen floor
and the refrigerator had been left open,
causing $500 worth of food to spoil.
Several large potted plants had been
thrown around the kitchen, causing a rip
in the linoleum and a hole in the wall,
and a large framed mirror had been taken
off a wooden chest and smashed against
the wall. A lamp was damaged and two
paintings had been ripped in half and
thrown across the room, knocking items
off the TV table. The victim stated she
had given one of the pictures to her
boyfriend as a sentimental gift and that
the vacuum cleaner actually belonged to
him.
Give me a minute to get my story
straight
On March 28 at about 1:00 a.m. a Public
Safety Officer observed a vehicle parked
on E. Arctic with a man asleep in the
driver’s seat. When the officer awakened
the subject and asked for identification,
he was told the subject had none. The
officer ran his name and birth date
through Charleston County and was
advised that the subject was wanted out
of Virginia for escape. Another officer
was dispatched to the scene to assist in
questioning the subject, who said he was
staying in a condominium with friends
who had driven him to Folly Beach but
he got bored and left. The officers ran
the tag on the vehicle and it came back
stolen out of Virginia. The subject then
admitted he had driven to the beach but
that he had borrowed a friend’s car for
the trip. He was placed under arrest for
possession of a stolen vehicle and giving
false information to police and was
transported to CCDC and processed by
the jail staff.
But, officer, he didn’t take me home
At approximately 2:15 a.m. on March 28,
an officer conducting an investigation
of a stolen vehicle at E. Arctic and 2nd
Street East was approached by a Yellow
Cab driver with a drunk and disorderly
passenger who would not exit his cab.
The cabbie said the passenger could not
tell him where he was staying and he
wanted him out of his vehicle. The officer
approached the subject who appeared
totally inebriated and refused to leave the
cab when asked by the officer. The officer
then repeated that the subject needed to
exit the cab and pay the cab driver and
he refused again. Upon threat of being
physically removed, the subject got out
but was very unstable on his feet. When
the officer told the subject he needed to
pay the cab driver $30, he pulled two
one-dollar bills out of his wallet. At this
the cab driver said he had wasted enough
of his time and was going to leave. The
officer took the driver’s information so he
could inform him of the court date. The
subject was placed under arrest for fraud
and disorderly conduct and transported
to CCDC.
Half-dressed woman raises a ruckus
A partially clad woman was arrested
about 5:30 p.m. on April 23 when officers
responded to a report of a car parked in
the middle of the road in the 600 block
of E Erie. When officers arrived they
found a woman asleep in the back seat
next to a half-empty 12-pack of beer
with an open container on the console.
When she was awakened, the woman
rambled on about how she happened to
be stopped in the street and loudly cursed
the officers. She was asked to get dressed,
and while being arrested for disorderly
conduct and improper parking, the
woman scratched the officer and kicked
him in the groin while attempting to
get away. She was transported to the
Charleston County Detention Center to
await a bond hearing.
Free coffee and more
Public Safety was dispatched to Bert’s
Market at about 10:00 a.m. on April 27
in reference to a man who had just stolen
the coffee tip jar. In the surveillance
video, the suspect was observed going
over to the coffee machine to get a cup of
coffee. The clerk was busy with customers
and you could see that when the man
went to get a cup of coffee, the tip jar
was there and when he turned to leave,
the jar was gone. The manager estimated
there was $40 in the tip jar. Three days
later around midnight the tip-jar bandit
struck again, making off with about $20
in tips. The surveillance camera showed
the suspect ride up on a purple ladies’
beach cruiser and proceed to the coffee
area, where he fussed over two cups of
coffee while placing the yellow plastic tip
jar in a black backpack. The thief then
left the store, tossed the cups into the

trash can and rode off on the purple bike.
The suspect was later stopped on a drug
charge in North Charleston and sources
said Folly Beach officers recognized
him from the video. Bert’s now has a
large glass tip jar rigged to a cowbell
so the chances of someone getting free
coffee and making off with the tip jar
in the process has now been effectively
thwarted.
It’s down the toilet for her
On May 12 about 1:30 p.m. a woman
being pursued by employees of the Palms
Resort Wear & Gift Shop was located
locked in a stall in the women’s bathroom
at the pier. The employees said the subject
concealed a pair of shorts and left the
store without paying and when they
approached her, she took off running.
County Park employees thought she was
in there trying to flush the evidence.
By the time Folly Beach police officers
arrived on the scene, the shorts were
gone and the toilet was stopped up. The
suspect admitted to stealing the shorts
and flushing them down the toilet. She
was cited for shoplifting and given a
court date.
What about destruction of property?
A panicked 10-year-old child ran into the
Kangaroo about 3:30 a.m. on May 20
and told an officer that her mother was
being beaten by her boyfriend. The officer
followed the child outside and the mother
stumbled into the parking lot begging for
help. She had a bruise on her forehead
and said her boyfriend had hit her in the
face with a closed fist. When asked where
she lived, the woman pointed to a near-by
house on Huron Avenue and the officer
observed a man run from the residence.
Seconds later a pickup truck backed out
and ran over some trash cans. The officer
pursued the boyfriend as he attempted
to leave the island and pulled the suspect
over at Center and Indian, removed
him from the truck at Taser point, and
handcuffed him. Both the suspect and
the victim had been drinking and the
suspect claimed the woman had spit on
him and punched him in the eye. The
officer photographed the injuries of the
victim and the suspect and the man was
taken to CCDC and booked on a charge
of criminal domestic violence.
Catch me if you can
On July 3 about 8:00 p.m. Public Safety
was alerted to four cars leaving 10th
Street East whose occupants appeared
to be highly intoxicated. An officer
stopped one of the cars and the others
turned into the parking lot of 208 E.
Ashley. The officer responding to that
address found the 19-year-old driver of
one of the vehicles so intoxicated that
he could not stand and he was not given
a field sobriety test due to concerns for
his safety. He was placed under arrest
for DUI, double-cuffed, placed in the
back of the control car and belted in.
While in route to the Charleston County
Detention center the suspect bragged that
he had been doing this for seven years
without being caught. When he failed the
Data-Master test, he was advised that his
license was suspended and he was lodged
into the detention center.
Are you looking for me?
While patrolling Center Street during bar
closing time around 2:00 a.m. on July
6, an officer observed a man sitting on
a bench in front of City Hall drinking
a Budweiser. As the officer approached,
the subject tossed the beer bottle into
a flower planter. Meanwhile the officer
was sidetracked by a woman who flagged
him down to ask a question, and while
he was talking to her the subject got
up and staggered down E. Erie. The
officer circled the block, where he was
again flagged down regarding a group
of people having an argument on E.
Cooper when the subject came stumbling
out of an alley and unwittingly walked
right up to the police officer. The subject
appeared to be in a state of gross alcohol
intoxication and when questioned
about the open container he became
belligerent and started swearing at the
officer. The report said the subject is
known to be homeless and frequently
intoxicated and was placed under arrest
for public drunkenness, littering, and
open container and then transported and
booked into the Charleston County Jail.
Best herb I’ve had in a long time
On July 24 about 3:30 a.m. a Public
Safety Officer spotted a man lying under
a truck on East Second Street. The
officer woke the man up and got him out
from under the truck. The subject was
clearly intoxicated and stated that he was
planning on sleeping under his truck that
night because he was too drunk to drive
home. On the ground next to him were
his cell phone and a small wooden box
www.follycurrent.com
containing a green leafy substance. When
asked about the contents of the box, the
subject admitted it was his and said it was
“the best herb I’ve had in a long time.”
He was issued a City citation for simple
possession of marijuana and allowed to
call his brother to come pick him up.
Anybody got a shovel?
On July 30 about 2:30 a.m. an officer on
patrol at Summer Place Lane observed
a Ford Explorer stuck in the sand on
the beachfront. A man trying to dig
the truck out with a plastic cooler lid
admitted to being intoxicated and said he
knew he had messed up by driving on the
beach. He also admitted he did not have
his driver’s license. A female passenger
also appeared to be intoxicated. Moore’s
Towing was called to pull the vehicle out
of the sand but the man did not have any
money, so the vehicle was towed. The
subject was issued a citation for driving
on the beach and he and the passenger
were left standing in the sand.
How’d you see me with the lights off?
A vehicle driving north on Center Street
with its lights off was stopped just before
midnight on August 17. The driver
seemed disoriented and could not find
the vehicle registration. When asked how
much he had had to drink, the subject
responded “too much” and was asked to
exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety
tests. He could not perform the one-
legged stand and lost his balance and fell
down on the walk and turn test. A female
was passed out in the passenger seat.
Two friends walked up and agreed to
take the passenger to their house and all
three were driven there in the cruiser. The
subject was transported to the Charleston
County Jail where his BAC measured .16.
His driver’s license was seized and he was
booked into the facility for DUI.

“Curb” your enthusiasm
A vehicle traveling down E. Ashley
around midnight on August 22 was
clocked at 47 mph and did not respond
to flashing blue lights and siren for more
than a block. When the vehicle did pull
over, it ran up on the curb at about 20
mph. The driver would not speak to the
officer and fumbled around in the vehicle
causing the officer to think he might be
in a possible altered mental status, so
he was asked to perform field sobriety
tests. He kept dropping his foot on the
one-legged stand and losing count on the
finger count test. The subject was arrested
for DUI. The driver refused a BAC at the
Charleston County Jail and insisted on
having an independent person perform
the test, but the person whose name he
gave would not return the call and the
subject was booked into the jail.
I’m done and I’m going to drown
A man fishing on the Folly River about
5:00 p.m. on August 23 saw a man
flailing in the water who stated “I’m done
and I’m going to drown.” The fisherman
pulled the subject into his boat and took
him to the Folly boat landing, where the
man told officers he had been kidnapped
in Monck’s Corner and taken to Folly
Beach, where he escaped from his captor
at the pier and ran to the West end of the
island and jumped into the water to swim
to safety. Upon further investigation,
the officer determined the suspect had
been brought to Folly Beach by a person
he no longer wanted to hang around
with. After walking to the County Park
he had attempted to swim to a nearby
island where he intended to camp, but
he got caught up in the current, where
he was rescued by the fisherman. When
Blotter continued on page 6
6 December 17, 2010

the officer opened the man’s bag to get
his ID, the suspect admitted he had
marijuana in the bag. The subject was
placed under arrest for simple possession
of marijuana and transported to the
Charleston County Jail to dry off.
Evasive procedures
A Public Safety officer writing parking
tickets in the 4th Street East beach access
just before midnight on September 4
heard the driver of a fast-going car rev
the engine. He jumped in his cruiser to
pursue and clocked the car at 47 mph
and climbing. The car had a lead of
several blocks and the officer was afraid
the driver would try to evade him if he
activated his blue lights and siren. He saw
the subject drive wildly through several
groups of pedestrians walking in the road
and nearly hit a man on a bicycle. When
he got within two blocks of the speeder,
the officer activated his lights and siren
and saw the subject make a quick turn
on 11th Street and rapidly accelerate in
an apparent attempt to lose him. He
turned left on E. Ashley, but the officer
was able to stay with him. The subject
pulled over on East 10th Street and
jumped out of the vehicle and appeared
to consider running away. When the
officer shouted for him to get back in
the car, he did, but he was unable to find
the vehicle registration and handed the
officer his passport instead. The driver
was now crying and sobbing his answers
to the officer’s questions. When asked
to perform a series of field sobriety tests,
he could not follow any of the directions
and kept crying and apologizing. He
was placed under arrest for DUI and
reckless driving and transported to the
Charleston County jail, where he refused
the BAC test.
I needed another hot dog
Just before 4:00 a.m. on September 5,
public safety responded to a call from
Bert’s Market regarding a disorderly
customer. Officers located the subject in
the East 2nd Street beach access with a
woman who said she was his common-
law wife and was trying to get him to go
home. The subject was visibly and grossly
intoxicated and unsteady on his feet and
was crying and making statements about
being a soldier and post traumatic stress.
He appeared to calm down after talking
with the police, who allowed his wife to
lead him off but warned him if he came
back out on the street they would have
no choice but to arrest him. About an
hour later the clerk at Bert’s called to
say the subject was back. When officers
responded to the scene, they found the
subject in the parking lot with a bouncer
from a local bar separating the man
from his wife. The wife said her husband
would not listen to her and was becoming
violent. The subject continued making
irrational statements and was completely
out of control, trying to walk away from
the officer and resisting arrest. Eventually
the officers were able to handcuff the
man and transport him to the Charleston
County Jail, where he was placed under
arrest for disorderly conduct.
Story finally “gels”
Folly Beach Public Safety was dispatched
to W. Ashley Avenue on September 10
by a woman who told the responding
officers that a man who had been ordered
to stay away from her home had broken
in, held her prisoner, and assaulted her.
The man reportedly told her he needed a
place to stay and when she said “No” he
grabbed her around the throat and said
no one would ever find her body. Then
he threw a phone book and a tube of
hair gel at her. The woman said when she
tried several times to leave the house, the
subject threw her to the floor and she was
so afraid of him that she had to wait until
he passed out to call the police. When
officers arrived, the suspect was asleep.
They woke him up and charged him with
kidnapping, second-degree burglary, and
trespass after notice and took him to the
Charleston County Detention Center.
They must have been dressed as ghosts
On October 30 about 9:00 p.m. a police
officer and state constable were assisting
a father and two children returning
from the Halloween carnival cross the
pedestrian walkway at Center Street
and Indian Avenue when a white Nissan
travelling north on Center Street failed
to slow on approach. The officer shined
his flashlight to get the driver’s attention
and the constable waved an illuminated
traffic wand, but the car did not slow
down and came within inches of running
down the children. The officer slapped
Sudoku
Level: Very Easy
the passenger side window loudly and
yelled for the driver to stop, but she
continued to drive off. An officer jumped
into his cruiser and managed to stop the
subject near Oak Island. As the officer
approached, he detected a strong odor
of alcohol emanating from the vehicle.
He asked the subject to exit the vehicle
and perform the standard field sobriety
tests, but when she tried the one-legged
stand she stumbled and fell over into the
roadway. The officer decided that asking
her to perform any other tests would
probably endanger both of their lives,
so she was placed under arrest for DUI
and issued a citation for failing to yield
at a crosswalk. When she refused to take
the BAC test at the County Detention
Center, her license was confiscated and
she was booked on a DUI charge.
The dog will bark next time, too
Public Safety was dispatched to a
residence in the 500 block of W. Ashley
about 1:00 a.m. on November 5 by a
woman who reported having seen an
intruder attempt to enter her house from
the back porch when her dog started
barking and she looked out the window.
The victim told the officer that on the
previous morning about 5:30 her dog
started barking uncontrollably and when
she got up to investigate, she saw that the
rear storm door was open and the rear
door was ajar, but she figured she had just
forgotten to close the doors before going
to bed. Officers checked the beach area
for a suspect, but did not find anyone,
and the residence was put on a special
patrol request.

f you want to help your community,
the easiest way is in the dollars you
spend. We open our wallets every
day, but the holidays are a windfall
for retailers, of which Folly Beach has
many.
A ten percent shift in money away
from corporate chain stores to local
businesses can significantly boost
community economies, generating jobs
and wages. Before you go shopping
online or on Rivers Avenue, think
about gifting your loved ones with
genuine Folly presents.
“It’s not just any one industry; we’re
trying to promote all of the businesses,”
says Ron Hill, president of the Folly
Beach Business Owners Association.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a restaurant
or a retailer or a handyman.”
The Folly Current has partnered
with the Business Association to do
our best to compile a list of suggestions
and gifts you can surprise your
family with under the tree this year.
Apologies to anyone we’ve missed!
Merry shopping.

Side effects bring down

Love and Other Drugs
J
ust like the little blue pill that Love and Other Drugs revolves around,
this movie has some disturbing side affects. This could have been an
extremely interesting film about exposing the intense competition between
pharmaceutical companies; it could have been a consummate love story, but it
couldn’t be both so you walk away from this movie with a sense of annoyance,
aggravation and loathing.
Director Edward Zwick tried very hard to make this film the next Up in
the Air and failed miserably. The movie is based on a cocky pharmaceutical
salesman Jamie Randall (Jake Gyllenhaal) who tries to make his mark
in the business while at the same time engaging in a no-strings-attached
relationship with the extremely blunt Maggie Murdock (Anne Hathaway).
The film is initially light and funny, and the audience spends a lot of its
time wrapped up in the sheets with Jamie and Maggie – often gratuitously.
 Of course, like most no-strings-attached relationships, their mutual commitment
deepens and this is where the movie mutates into a serious drama with Maggie’s
medical hardships and Jake’s reaction to it.
The topics that writer-director Edward Zwick and co-scripter Charles Randolph
chose to discuss in this film were so deep and painful that it felt so wrong that they

A showy, snowy holiday pie
Provided by Jenny Harper, Family Features
I
t’s true – the kitchen is the heart of the home. Ever
notice how people always gather there? Whether
baking treats, making dinner or spending time with
family and friends, the kitchen is my favorite place to
be. When it comes to entertaining, especially during the
holidays, I love to finish the party off with a beautiful
dessert; and this one is as easy as it is pretty, which just
makes my holiday even merrier.
Gorgeous to look at and scrumptious to eat, the
Peppermint Snow Pie is very easy to make. And here
are a few tips to make it even easier:
• Just the right crust. I like making a fresh graham
cracker crust – and it’s a snap, too. Prepare your
chocolate graham cracker crumbs by either
whizzing them in the food processor or putting
broken graham crackers in a resealabe bag and
crushing them with a rolling pin. To help you
press the crumb mixture evenly into the pie plate,
use a flat-bottomed measuring cup.
• Getting gelatin right. Putting the gelatin
in a small amount of water to soften is called
“blooming.” It’s best to use the bloomed gelatin
right away, before it starts to set into a solid. If it
does start to set, put the bowl in a small saucepan
filled with an inch or so of water. Warm it over
medium-high heat until it softens again.
• Pretty peppermint pieces. Put your peppermint
candies into a resealable bag and break them up
with a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet.
You can crush extra candies and keep them in the
freezer for the next time you make this show-
stopping pie.

 Holiday shipping tips
By Elizabeth Beckmann

W
hile Santa gets the reindeer into top physical condition, his mortal helpers in
the pack and ship industry have geared up for their annual holiday shipping
rush. With the highest expected package volume in recent years, US post and
parcel carriers have braced to support an overwhelming 20.5 billion pieces of holiday
mail and packages this year.
Between the combination of a recovering economy and online retail sales projected
at $21.6 billion, gift shipping this year will reach all time records. Between December 1
and 24, domestic carriers FedEx and UPS will deliver more than 700 million packages to
consumers across the country. Early bird shoppers and shippers have already completed
their gift purchases, but for the procrastinators out there, the last day you will be able
to send out packages for delivery before December 25 is Thursday, December 23; and
that’s at the more expensive Next Day Delivery rate.
FedEx and UPS will all offer next day delivery for Christmas Eve, but the peak day
for shipping volume will be Monday, December 20, so plan ahead. If you’re sending
packages internationally, you’ll need to get your shipments off no later than this date.
Here are some tips to remember when preparing to ship your gifts:
• Ship early. To avoid disappointment, we recommend shipping ground service
packages by December 17. After that, air service is recommended.
• All carriers have size and weight restrictions, but complete information is always
available from Pack & Mail Etc. at 762-0123.
• All items should be packaged in new, sturdy boxes using no brown paper; no
string; no “Scotch”, masking or duct tape; and no newspaper for fragile item
protection.
• Bulky, lightweight items may be subject to oversize charges. Items that are fragile
should be double boxed with at least two inches of packaging between the inner
and outer boxes.
• Consider calling ahead, or shipping to a business address, to be sure someone is
there to receive the package.
• Enclose an extra address label inside the package in case the outside is damaged
during shipping, or the outside label becomes obliterated.
• Utilize carriers like UPS or FedEx who offer the ability to track packages from
origin to destination.
• The professionals at Pack & Mail Etc. are always willing to provide packing
guidance, or to handle the whole packing job.
Elizabeth Beckmann is the owner of Pack & Mail Etc, an independently owned and
operated Pack & Shipping store at 915 Folly Road. December holiday hours for Pack &
Mail Etc are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.; Saturdays. 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.; and
they may be reached by phone at 762-0123 for special shipping appointments!
