Packing Your Notes for Shipment

  • Multiple submissions can be mailed in the same box and can be shipped back together upon request.
  • Pack the notes in a well-secured, appropriately sized box with the submission form. We recommend packing a box within a box.
  • Securely seal the package with reinforced shipping tape to prevent tampering en route. Any damaged, unsealed or poorly sealed packages will be rejected and returned by the shipper.
  • Clearly write WK (for notes in the WalkThrough tier) or EX (for notes in the Express tier) on the outside of the shipping box. These boxes will be opened first.
