Make sure you follow all these tips to ensure your package reaches it's destination without delay.

Use the correct ZIP code. Find out missing ones on the Postal Service Web site: http://www.usps.com or the Wolf Mailing Zip Code Lookup.
Remove batteries from toys and wrap them separately.
Use strong, reinforced tape. Do not use string.
Write, type or print the delivery address neatly. (Use the Wolf Mailing Label Maker)
Place a return address label inside the package.
Always use a return address.
Always use complete address information, such as AVE, BLVD and ST. Use the apartment or suite number as well as directionals, such as N, W, and S.W.
Select a container that's strong enough to protect the contents. Leave space for cushioning inside the carton.
Always use tape that is designed for shipping, such as pressure sensitive tape, nylon reinforced craft paper tape or glass reinforced pressure sensitive tape.
Plain air popped popcorn, shredded or rolled newspaper, bubble wrap or Styrofoam peanuts work well for cushioning package contents.
The only addresses on packages for mailing should be the delivery and return addresses. Also place a return address label inside the package.
Carefully pack 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.
Packages that weigh at least one pound must be taken to the Post Office for mailing.
