Make sure that whatever you're shipping arrives safely with these tips.
Step 1: Use a sturdy box
Don't try to get away with an old shoebox or disposable-diaper carton. The U.S. Postal Service recommends a double- corrugated box.
Step 2: Protect the contents
Wrap fragile items in newspaper, bubble wrap, or other packaging. If you're shipping clothes, wrap them in heavy-duty plastic in case the packaging gets wet.
Tip
Plain, air-popped popcorn is an environmentally friendly substitute for Styrofoam packing peanuts.
Step 3: Put the address inside and out
Tuck the name and address of the recipient inside the package in case something happens to the mailing label.
Step 4: Remove batteries
If you're sending something with batteries, pack them separately so that the item doesn't switch on in transit.
Step 5: Use the right tape
Secure the package with 2-inch-wide packing tape, which is specifically made for shipping. Regular tape and masking tape are not durable enough.
Step 6: Be clear
Write the recipient's address legibly and include the zip code. If you're unsure of it, look it up at usps.com. Include your return address.
Tip
An incorrect zip code will delay your package longer than no zip code at all.
Step 7: Select a delivery method
Select a delivery method. The fastest option is Express, followed by Priority. The cheapest, but slowest, domestic option is ground delivery, known as Parcel Post. You can also choose Priority flat-rate shipping, where one fee is charged for whatever you can fit into one of four specially sized boxes.
Tip
Packages that are 13 ounces or less can be put in any mailbox, as long as they fit and have the correct postage.
Step 8: Consider purchasing insurance
Consider buying insurance. If you're insuring your package for less than $500, you can do it at usps.com. You also can use the site to calculate and download postage.
Step 9: Save a trip to the post office
Save a trip to the post office by giving packages up to 70 pounds to your regular mail carrier. There's no limit to how many Express, Priority, parcel return, and international packages you can hand over. For a fee, you can also call or go online to arrange a pick-up time.
Did You Know?
Postal workers call the Monday before Christmas "Black Monday" because it's one of the busiest shipping days of the year.
this is the kinda stuff high school should teach you
I KNOW! i have to shio something tonight but i cant figure out how to 🤣
Bro for real
Ya it’s sad I had to look this up
I know right but thank god that they taught us how to find the sheilding constant for oxygen because that is very useful
Thank you it's a must need!
Couple additions
1. Stick with BOXES. avoid plastic bags.
2. Avoid cube-shaped boxes to tubes
3. Go ALL the way AROUND the box with the tape, and be sure to put the tape on BOTH ways so it crosses itself.
5. Mailing liquid in bottles, etc? Make sure it is securely sealed. Avoid glass containers unless they are VERY well protected. Also let the clerk know the package has liquids when you drop it off.
yo dawg, i herd u liked air-popped popcorn, so i shipped u some air-popped popcorn and wrapped it in environmentally-friendly air-popped popcorn
atomicbrain9401 Just put full bags in there.
atomicbrain9401 lmao 😂
why in the hell is this so hard/confusing. i want to sell some stuff on ebay but i have to buy a box bubble wrap somehow print a label and pay fees almost as much as the damn thing im sending.
Hey ebay seller here. Best thing to do is charge actual post office cost. You can add a few bucks for materials too. At the beginning I used to lose a lot money from shipping, but now I no longer do.
same I'm tryna sell some old shoes to a creep for 500 dollars😂😂
@@365bumpinthat did you end up getting the $500?

Lol here cuz I’m sending my long distance ex his jacket back. 💀
But what do I say to the worker person to avoid being awkward and stating the obvious of "I'd like to ship a package"
If you put it in the mailbox, how would you get a tracking number?
I’m trying to send my gf hoodies and a card that’s it😭😭
same bruh LMFAO
SAME I'm tryna send my bf a valentines giftttt please help tips do I need credit card or not 😭 and what's the name of shipping places
I dont feel like paying money to send someone a box full of candy.
Where can I buy shipping boxes or cardboard paper for small items?
What will happen when I give my box to the mailman ?.. what will he do with it is what I wanna know...
drive home and enjoy his gift.
@@Myce lmaoo
I think he'll do it for free then. I looked it up. Pretty sure he'll take it back to the office and mail it for you. You can also drop it in that blue collection mailbox that's on the side of the streets!
the things i do to ship a BTS photocard to my customers 🤦🏻♀️
Haha
I wanna ship valentines gift to my boyfriend but idk how and do I need a credit card to pay for the shipping bc I don't own one currently
So i can give it to the mail man as long as its under 70 lbs?
69 ibs? lol
if it can fit in the mailbox
@@user-gk7bt5wh6m It doesn't have to fit in the mailbox. It just has to be under 70 lba
is it possible to just write the address and return address on the box and send it? where can i get a printed label without a printer?
I had no idea you could use popcorn lol that's great
If my object is small (about 30cm x 10cm x 5cm) can I just put it in the mail box? I'm afraid it won't go overseas to one of my friends.
Thomas Burk seahorse.
is it true that you can put small packages into the mailboxes on the street? Has anyone tried it?
yes you can. I typically do this with my online sales. If the package is under 15 oz (or if it fits in the slot) then you can ship it in a blue USPS dropoff box.
If I put a envelope like a small book 5o the drop box. How would I know how much stamps would I need?
you could download postage on the website
... I didn't know about black Monday....intersting though. :-)
I just wanna mail my little cousin his play dough...
Thank you for telling me
I give up this person can get they're own Valentine's gift 🤷
great video
I'm just gonna chuck it as I hard as I can in the general direction of my recipient into the air and pray to Jesus and Vishnu.
I just want to send a charger to my friend he will just buy a new one....
Yo this is not complicated you literally put your item in a box, make sure it secure, take a piece of paper fold it to where it fits on the box, write your name and then your address on the top left corner and then the recipients name and address on the bottom right corner, bring it to the post office and pay normally around 10$
Do you have to pay with credit card or j can use cash cuz I currently don't own a credit card and want to send my boyfriend a valentine gift
Everyone: sending their gfs hoodies and candy
Me: same bro! We good bfs 👍🏼😂
@sweettreats121 Well a small box but usps is not the best at international shipping so i would go to the ups store and let them pack it, they are good at packing.
i scheduled a pick up but was not charged? do i need to pay?
So do i have to pay if i drop it in the mail box
How to have fun by your self.

What if it's just a bubble wrap envelope can we just put a stamp? Or do you need a shipping label??
You need a shipping label, which you can buy at the post office or on usps.com. Stamps are for letters.
