Hello Sameer,

In the USA the UPS owns a chain of stores that do packing and offer mail
box service. This may not be true where you are.

I would suggest that you contact the company you are sending it to so
they can make a recommendation of how to send it. I think that for
sending instruments to Canada from the US, FedEx is usually suggested
over UPS. This situation may be different for you.

Gary
