Remember to pack items correctly and securely
If there's more than one item in the parcel, wrap it individually.
If posting fragile items remember to use bubble wrap for extra protection.
Sending batteries or liquids abroad is illegal. Check the list of internationally prohibited items to see if your package is included.
Always include the sender address in the top left-hand corner of the letter/parcel.
Use tape that's used for sealing packages. Do not use string, cellophane or masking tape.
