American Legion partner ShipThrifty is passionate about supporting those who serve and supporting your shipping this holiday season. Your free ShipThrifty account will save you money and time this holiday season with shipping care packages to loved ones and active-duty servicemembers.  

Here are a few tips for merry shipping:

·   Be aware of holiday shipping deadlines to ensure your packages arrive on time.

As an American Legion partner, when you create your shipping labels with ShipThrifty, a percentage of the dollars you spend is donated back to the organization to support its mission. And American Legion members get expert support, processes and technology to make their care package packing parties fun and simple with a trusted partner that supports thousands of care packing events each year.

Whether you are shipping one package or 1,000, Legion members and posts can:

·         Save up to 60% on shipping with major carriers

·         Cut shipping time by 90% (no waiting in line or handwritten customs forms)

·         Protect servicemembers and collect addresses safely

·         Earn funds to offset future shipping costs

·         Reduce nonrefundable returned packages

ShipThrifty was founded in 2017 by American Legion Family members Rob and Michelle Williamson, who simplified the process of shipping for individuals and businesses by allowing shippers a cost-saving and hassle-free way to create, purchase and print their own shipping labels online with major carriers. A year later, they provided those same ShipThrifty benefits with military families to make shipping care packages to servicemembers overseas and stateside easy. Since then, hundreds of thousands of care packages have been delivered to America’s military men and women to boost morale and bring those away from home a piece of home.

The American Legion and ShipThrifty have formed a partnership to continue caring for servicemembers through the shipping of care packages and the Legion’s Be the One suicide prevention initiative.
