Can You Mail a Gift Wrapped Package?

Don't wrap the outer box in any kind of paper; it could tear off and your gift could be lost or delayed. (U.S. Postal Service, UPS, DHL and some FedEx boxes are free.)

Can you mail a package that is wrapped?

Paper wrapping is not recommended; it can catch and tear off in mail processing equipment. Parcels (including fragile items) should be prepared to withstand normal mail processing and transportation.

Can I send wrapped presents in the post?

Packaging must be of adequate size and securely sealed so items can't fall out during transit. The sender's name and return address must be clearly visible on the outer packaging.
