Should I ship candy boxes gift-wrapped or in plain brown thru US Mail?
Will gift-wrapped boxes encourage looting by the mail handlers?
Whereas something shipped in plain brown looks less festive when the recipient gets it. Please advise. |

US mail handlers aren't notorious for looting packages - I have never had
anything go astray and I have mailed obvious gifts, cash, wine, you name it. Why not put a brown paper wrapper over the gift wrap or put the whole package in a plain box? -- Cheers - John Mycroft coryton_at_cobbsmill_dot_com "tariq rahim" wrote in message om...

Please advise. Plain brown or some such may be required. PO certainly will not be responsible for tearing of gift wrap, which tends to be more delicate. |

Please advise. Ship gift-wrapped and then wrap newspaper (always fun to read what life is liek where the package orginated, and then brown wrap. Not to avoid theft (I think it's pretty obvious that most of the packages are gifts, and the Customs Declaration pretty much simplifies the process of theivery of wanted), but to pretect the goft wrap.
