Make shipping your holiday packages to loved ones or servicemembers easy with Legion partner ShipThrifty.

While we are all thinking about sending packages to our families and loved ones, we're also thinking about how care packages are a great way to boost the morale of our military members and show appreciation for their service.

American Legion partner Ship Thrifty is passionate about supporting those who serve and your shipping this holiday season. Plus, with prepaid labels, you can skip the lines.

Here are a few tips for Merry Shipping with Ship Thrifty:

  • Save up to 60% on your personal and care package shipping with major carriers, and cut shipping time by 90% with no waiting in line or handwritten customs forms, all with your free Ship Thrifty account.
  • Create your free today at shipthrifty.com/rf/Legion and type Legion into the affiliate code when signing up.
  • Know the carrier holiday shipping deadlines to make sure your packages arrive on time. 

Shipping to troops? Here are a few tips to help with a successful delivery:

  • Be aware of base-specific restrictions. Even common items like coffee, meat products, and over-the-counter medications can be prohibited at a base. 
  • Provide an accurate description of the items in your package for proper customs declaration. 
  • Skip dangerous goods like aerosols (shaving cream, hair spray), alcohol-containing items (hand sanitizer, eyeglass wipes, or mouthwash), nail polish, cleaning supplies, lithium batteries, etc. 

Legion members get expert support, processes, and technology to make your care packing party fun and simple with a trusted partner that supports thousands of care packing events each year. We are happy to help in any way we can.

And as a Legion partner, when you create your shipping labels with Ship Thrifty, a percent of the dollars you spend is donated back to The American Legion .
