How to Safely Pack
Your items for Shipping
Ensure a safe arrival of
your items by following these general packing tips.
Choose a new box that is large and has enough
space for the item and adequate cushioning or packing
material. Do NOT skimp on packing material. One
inch bubble wrap is great. To avoid shifting while in
transit, make sure to pack items tightly. For a strong
seal, use packing tape that is designed specifically for
shipping and cover every seam, making sure not to leave open
areas which might
snag.

Disher
Courier Next Flight Out
Services
When you have a package that needs
to get to its destination fast, take advantage of Disher
Courier's NFO services. NFO stands for Next Flight
Out, and is often the fastest way to get your package
where it needs to go. When speed is essential for a
delivery, ground delivery options are never going to
even come close to matching the speed of air delivery,
which is why Disher provides this expedited
delivery option to all our
clients.
We work with our
network of partners and airlines to provide NFO
service. Once you place your order for NFO shipments, we
will immediately find you the fastest possible
flight time in order to get your package to its
destination. Our dispatch and NFO schedulers will
examine all possible flight options in order to find you
the delivery solution that is going to get your package
where it needs to go in the shortest amount of time
possible. At Disher Courier, our goal is
to move your package through all stages
of the shipment process as smoothly and rapidly as
possible. This includes a rush pickup from your location
to guarantee that the package gets to the airport in
time to be loaded on the flight, as well as professional
services to ensure that all paperwork is filled out
correctly for an expedited movement through customs in
case your NFO order is going to be shipping
internationally. When the package arrives at its
destination airport, a Disher agent will pickup and
deliver it to its final destination and
provide proof of delivery for the
same. NFO service can be utilized for any
size shipment that can be shipped typically by air,
starting from envelopes ranging up to large
packages.

Unus has only been with Disher
Courier since mid Feb 2009, but in his short
tenure he has proven himself to be a valued asset
to us and our clients.

well rounded driver that knows the city well, is
very reliable, is a hustler and is willing
to go the extra mile to keep our clients
happy. Rob is all of this and throw in the fact
that he is a smart guy that's always thinking and
is one of the kindest and most respectful guys
you'll ever meet, you can easily see why he has
quickly risen to be one of our top drivers.
Rob,
your efforts have not gone unnoticed and for this
you have been selected July's Broker/Employee of
the Month. Thanks for everything and keep up the
great
work.

Outdoor Summer
Entertaining
One
of the best parts of the summer can be getting to
entertain some guests in your back yard, on your patio,
or on your deck. This is something that a lot of people
look forward to throughout all those cold and dreary
winter months. However, there are some simple things
that you can pick up in order to ensure that your
summer months are spent relaxing and entertaining in
comfort and style.
Usually when you're
entertaining outdoors, this means that a lot of food and
drinks are going to be passed around, which is why it's
always nice to have a few of these things on hand.
Citronella candles are one essential item for summer
parties because they help to keep mosquitoes and other
annoying insects away from the food, the table, and the
guests! These come in regular candle form, but a nice
touch can be to light them inside glass lanterns to give
you some mood lighting for your backyard party.
Other essential outdoor party supplies
include ample seating, (folding chairs or stacking
chairs are nice because they can be easily stored
without taking up too much space) and a place to keep
drinks cool. A galvanized tub filled with ice works
nicely. And, of course, no summer party
would be complete without the grill! Here's a tasty tip:
Instead of making steaks, try making skewers from some
marinated meat and vegetables instead. They taste great
and are easier to eat outside in plastic lawn chairs
than a steak might
be. |
The Top 5 Places to Shop in
Toronto
Toronto is the largest
city in Canada and, as such, has some of the best
shopping in the country. Check out these hotspots to see
some of the best of what Toronto has to offer.
Yorkville
-
this is the shopping area where independent boutiques
can rub elbows with Hugo Boss, where independent
Canadian designers can rub shoulders with large brand
name stores. Yorkville isn't cheap, but it's one of the
most celebrity busy hotspots, which makes it an equally
attractive tourist shopping spot.
Bloor St. -
This is where the large designers come to live and where
you'll find the names like Prada and Louis Vuitton. It's
not all designer handbags here though. More affordable
shopping options, like the Gap and H&M, are also
available. Don't miss Holt Renfrew, THE upscale
department store in Toronto.
Don Mills -
This shopping area has been growing recently but is set
up differently than traditional malls, with all the
buildings being arranged more like a community than a
connected mall. There are stores here that you can't
find anywhere else in the city, like Anthropologie, and
McNally Robinson.
Yonge & Dundas
Square - this is the home to the Eaton center,
which is surely the most famous shopping complex in the
city. This is the shopping area that is all about mall
chains and familiar faces as far as the store offerings
go - and it's all here.
Queen
West - For the independent and the trendsetters,
it's all about Queen West. This is where you'll find
designers BEFORE they're trendy, instead of after.
