Secure the shipment

Inspection Service offers holiday tips

A new Postal Inspection Service video shows customers how to secure their seasonal shipments.

How do you make sure your holiday package reaches that special someone and stays out of the hands of thieves?

In a new public service announcement, the Postal Inspection Service recommends using USPS special services such as Signature Confirmation and Registered Mail to ensure proper delivery of your seasonal cargo.

Signature Confirmation helps ensure accurate delivery by requiring the recipient’s first initial and last name at the time of delivery.

For high-value packages, customers can opt for Registered Mail service, which allows the sender to receive a mailing receipt and electronic verification of a delivery or delivery attempt. The sender can also insure Registered Mail items for up to $50,000.
