\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcTis the season to ship packages and we have some tips to help ensure that your packages arrive safely.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do not wrap the box in brown paper, grocery bags, wrapping paper, etc. (Too many times, the paper is ripped off in the handling and shipping process \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and the address and postage are gone!)\n
      \n
    1. Just use a plain old box \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a cereal box, a ShopVac box, an Office Depot box, etc.<\/li>\n
    2. Put your new address label directly onto the box (or write the address on a clear side of the box). We also have shipping labels available that you can use.<\/li>\n
    3. We do have a wide variety of the free Priority<\/strong> boxes \u00e2\u20ac\u201c regular and Flat Rate.<\/li>\n
    4. Another safety item: Put a copy of the address where it is going inside the box \u00e2\u20ac\u201c just in case the box gets torn open.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    5. Use blue or black ink for the address. Do not use red ink.<\/strong> Red is hard to read by the U.S. Mail scanners.<\/li>\n
    6. Use regular packing tape on the package. Do not use ribbon, bows, twine, etc. Also, do not use duct tape of any kind (security reasons).<\/li>\n
    7. Pack fragile items with lots of padding. ALL packages are handled by machines \u00e2\u20ac\u201c they can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t read \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fragile\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that people write on the outside of the package.<\/li>\n
    8. This year, U.S. Mail will deliver packages seven days a week during the holiday season.<\/li>\n
    9. Shipping deadlines are found in the lobby area of Mail Services or on our website (click here)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
