USPS offers several instructional videos that can help customers who plan to ship parcels this fall and winter, including holiday packages to friends and family and care packages to hurricane victims in the Caribbean.
The four videos are part of the “Shipping Tips” series and address topics like packing, parcel tracking and insurance.
