Mail Must

Go Through

By LEE LITTLEWOOD

Postal pet peeves run high during the holidays. So if you want your package to arrive safely and in one piece, here's the scoop:

No masking, duct or transparent tape, please. These tapes do not provide the strength necessary for secure closures. Choose a strong plastic, water-activated paper or reinforced tape. Buy it at a post office or postal store.

Use a new, corrugated box. According to UPS, you should use a box large enough to allow room for cushioning material, like bubble pack, plastic foam, peanuts and crumpled paper work.
