Can I send a bracelet in an envelope?
I would enclose the bracelet in a small cello sleeve before putting it in the envelope. As long as the envelope has nothing bulky or rigid it should ship okay. You could try mailing one to a friend or yourself to see how it arrives.
Can I send jewelry through FedEx?
When you’re shipping high-value jewelry items, you need expert shipping. That’s why we offer FedEx Declared Value Advantage. This service allows eligible customers to declare a value of up to USD $100,000 on jewelry, gemstones, and precious metals (normally limited to USD $1,000*).
How should you seal your package USPS?
Sealing: Tape the opening of the box and reinforce all seams with 2″ wide tape. Use clear or brown packaging tape, reinforced packing tape or paper tape (do not use scotch tape). Cord, string or twine should not be used as it causes the package to get caught and possibly damaged in sorting.
Can you wrap a package in brown paper and mail it USPS?
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 wrap a package in brown paper to mail it?
DON’T wrap boxes in brown paper or tie with string. DON’T use materials like newspaper or real popcorn to package items. DON’T use old boxes or gift boxes for shipping gifts. DON’T use duct tape, masking tape, or cellophane tape to seal your boxes for shipping.
Why can’t you use duct tape on packages?
Do not use masking tape, cellophane tape, duct tape, water-activated paper tapes, string, or wrap the box in paper because it will not provide a strong enough seal.
