Mailing and Shipping Tips for the Holiday Season

Choose the right size box.  Don’t mail anything that isn’t a piece of paper in a regular envelope. Greeting cards are fine, but if you’re trying to include something lumpy, like jewelry, flash drives, etc., the envelope can break open and the contents fall out.  In fact, even gift cards shouldn’t be mailed in a plain envelope as the postal system’s automated sorting equipment can destroy them.  Pay the extra non-machinable charge to avoid the sorting machine.
