And we only offer items that we have used in our own warehouses…we know these products will perform for you because they have performed for us. Packaging Tips Select a box that is strong enough to protect the contents. Leave space for cushioning inside the carton. Cushion package contents with shredded or rolled newspaper, bubble wrap, or Styrofoam peanuts. Plain air-popped popcorn is also good for cushioning; it''s inexpensive and environmentally friendly. Pack tightly to avoid shifting. Always use tape that is designed for shipping, such as pressure-sensitive tape, nylon-reinforced kraft paper tape, or glass-reinforced pressure-sensitive tape. Do not use wrapping paper, string, masking tape, or cellophane tape. Put the delivery and return addresses on one side only of the package. Suggestion: Place a return address label inside the package. Stuff glass and fragile hollow items, like vases, with newspaper or packing material to avoid damage due to shock. When mailing framed photographs, take the glass out of the frame and wrap it separately. Remove batteries from toys. Wrap and place them next to the toys in the mailing box. Take packages that weigh at least 1 pound into the post office for mailing.

A surcharge, in addition to the applicable postage and fees, is applied to each piece of nonstandard size mail for two reasons: it compensates the Postal Service for the added cost of manually handling nonstandard mail, and it promotes the design and use of mail that can be processed mechanically.
