A:
For PVC shrink film, blow dryer can make it shrink. Heat gun is more efficient, but blow dryer works. To close the open end, you may simply tape it and then heat shrink it. To get a more professional look, you need a sealer. Round wire sealer can give a clean seal and cut, which is widely used to seal shrink film and bags. I - Bar system and L - Bar system listed in our Ebay store are round wire sealers, which is designed to seal shrink film or bags.

Q: I need to move, can your shrink film pack my furniture for moving purpose? I need to pack pallets, is that your shrink film the right choice for the purpose?
A: Even though our shrink film can be used to pack furniture, but it is for display and prevent dust. You really need stretch film for moving or packing pallets. Some people call stretch film as shrink film, but it is not heat seal shrink film. We do carry stretch film. Please check out stretch film instead of shrink film.

Q: I choose United States Postal Service (USPS) to ship my products, can you provide tracking information? It has been long time, but my products still not arrive, will you take the responsibility?
A:
USPS provides delivery confirmation service but not tracking service. Unlike UPS, USPS does not provide detail shipping progress information. We send items to USPS shortly after generating shipping label. USPS will not provide any information other than "shipping label generated" until items are delivered to final destination. Our experience tell us that USPS are almost 100% reliable, but there are still slim chances to delay delivery or lost item. We keep our promise to send items to USPS for delivery right after generating USPS shipping label, but we are not responsible for any USPS delivery delay or lost of items. If you want to be 100% secure the delivery process, please purchase insurance for your purchased item if you choose USPS delivery. For international delivery, USPS only provides delivery confirmation for global express mail. No delivery confirmation available for priority mail or air mail parcel postal. Insurance for USPS international shipping is highly preferred.
