YOUR AURORA SHIPPING GUIDE
Use Aurora, Illinois as the actual origin
Aurora is the Illinois location covered by this guide. Include Illinois or IL, the full street address, unit and ZIP code so the origin is not confused with another city of the same name. If an order uses a Chicago-area description, retain its real Aurora mailing details.
The City of Aurora's downtown guide describes a mix of retail and residential premises. For collection from such a building, identify whether the parcel is held by a shop, office or resident and which entrance the holder can use. Public parking information does not establish a courier loading arrangement.
Separate the trading address from the packed goods
A website, receipt or invoice may show a business address while the order is being packed elsewhere. Ask the person preparing it to confirm the physical dispatch location. Give that location to EPS, together with the name of the person authorized to release the boxes.
If you plan to move parcels from home to a shop before collection, agree that move first. State when the goods will be at the final address. Do not list two possible origins as if either could be used without further confirmation; changing the address can change the arrangement under review.
Prepare an order-level packing record
Match each finished box to its contents and order reference. List item descriptions and quantities, and distinguish goods being sold from returns or personal property. Explain any batteries, liquids, fragile components or other contents needing a service check.
Supply the actual packed weight and outside length, width and height for every parcel. Select lbs/inch or kg/cm in the quote form. Product dimensions alone are not the shipping dimensions, and identical products may occupy different cartons after protective packing.
Agree who can release the order
For a home address, give the apartment or unit and describe any access restrictions. For a business, confirm whether outgoing goods use the public entrance or another agreed point. The release contact should know the final parcel count and which order may leave.
Send the destination country and postal code with any requested delivery date. Ask EPS to confirm the proposed service, collection instructions and estimated timing before committing to an arrival date. For other origins, consult the Illinois shipping guide.
City shipping questions
Can I use my business address if the boxes are at home?+
The collection address must identify where the packed goods will be released. Provide separate billing details when needed and tell EPS if the boxes will move before pickup.
Does this guide cover Aurora in Colorado?+
No. This page concerns Aurora, Illinois. Give the actual state and ZIP code if your shipment starts in another Aurora.
What happens if the dispatch address changes?+
Give EPS the new address, release contact and readiness details before collection is confirmed. An earlier quote or arrangement should be checked against that change.
This guide describes an area from which collection can be requested. It does not identify an EPS branch or parcel drop-off counter.
