How do I customize a shipment?
If you have special needs and don't see a shipping option that fills those needs, simply click on the "Customize Shipping Options" button when that becomes available. Examples of when you might want to customize a shipment:

If you have a time-definite need, you can state exactly when you want your package picked up and delivered, even if it falls outside of regularly scheduled delivery runs.
If you have a multi-stop shipment (e.g., ship my package from point A to point B to point C and back to point A).
If you have an oversize, heavy, or fragile item that requires special handling.

Can I track a package even if I didn’t use NDS to ship it?
Yes. As long as it was shipped with a major carrier and you know the tracking number, we can track it for you. You can also track multiple shipments from multiple carriers all from our one site.

Is my package insured?
Yes, just like other national package and express delivery services, your package is insured by the NDS delivery company partner, generally up to $50, from the time it is picked up to the time it is dropped off. You can increase the value of this coverage by stating a declared value when you place the order.
