<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2629026, member: 77639&quot;]Registered mail is very safe. Although USPS will let you pay for priority and other supposedly faster shipping rates, it&#039;s a waste for registered mail.&nbsp; It travels at its own speed regardless because of the need for signatures at each hand-off and need for security during transit.&nbsp; The address must be written on the box itself and not on labels or tape.&nbsp; All seams and edges must be sealed with approved tape, which is different from the usual plastic shipping tape.&nbsp; Traditionally, it has been paper tape that has to be wetted before application.&nbsp; This type of tape is required because the receiving clerk must stamp all seams and edges, and most plastic tapes will not retain the ink. Lately, I&#039;ve been using Intertape 9341 Kraft Paper Flatback Carton Sealing Tape, available from Amazon.&nbsp; It requires no wetting and is acceptable to USPS (a postal employee told me about it).&nbsp; Always take extra tape to the post office with you.&nbsp; The clerk may spot a seam or edge you forgot to tape.&nbsp; Don&#039;t count on the post office to have tape.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
