The holiday season brings joy, celebration, and a significant surge in global shipping volume. For businesses and individuals alike, this often translates into a frustrating reality: delayed deliveries and the increased risk of lost parcels. At OrientDig, we understand that your shipments are more than just packages—they are promises, gifts, and critical business supplies. This guide explains how proactive planning and our insured shipping solutions can safeguard your deliveries during the busiest times of the year.
The Golden Rule: Plan and Ship Early
Procrastination is the biggest enemy of holiday shipping. As carrier networks reach peak capacity, delays cascade through the system. Our first and most crucial advice is to finalize and dispatch your shipments as early as possible. Aim to ship at least 7-10 business days earlier than you would during off-peak seasons. This buffer accounts for processing holds, weather disruptions, and the general slowdown in transit times.

OrientDig's Proactive Solution: Insured and Prioritized Routes
Planning early is half the battle. The other half is choosing the right shipping partner and service level. This is where OrientDig's insured and prioritized shipping routes
Our insured routes are not just about financial protection; they represent a higher standard of handling. Packages on these routes are often processed separately or with added scrutiny, reducing the chances of mis-sorting or being left behind in overcrowded facilities. You benefit from granular, real-time tracking from pickup to final delivery. Despite all precautions, unexpected events can occur. When you declare the full value of your shipment and use our insured service, you are covered against loss or damage. This transforms a potential total loss into a manageable, resolved claim, protecting your bottom line and customer relationships. During peak season, standard shipping timelines become unreliable. Our prioritized insured routes maintain more consistent schedules because they are designed for reliability. By choosing this option, you invest in predictability, ensuring your supply chain or personal gifts remain on track.1. Enhanced Security and Tracking
