US postal service gives tips on sending gifts during the holidays
It’s the time of the year where there’s massive flurry of activities at the U.S. postal offices as people start sending greeting cards, letters and packages during the holidays. The US Postal office has started giving tips in terms of effectively sending gifts during the holidays and to avoid mishaps.
The first tip is to make sure that proper addressing is made in order to ensure that the packages arrive at the right address. Make sure that the writing is legible so that the postman can easily deliver the items.
Second is to package the gifts properly to avoid breakage of the items inside. One of the most effective tips for this is to wrap items on bubble wrap, foam or newspaper. This ensures that the package won’t shift while on delivery. Another great tip is to mark the package “fragile” so that the postman will take extra care on the item.
