Just a helpful tip about the USPS. My mother has worked there for over 30 years and my gf has been there for 5. Delivery Confirmation is no guarantee that your package will be delivered to you. The person delivering your mail could drop it at the wrong address & it will still be scanned as delivered & there's nothing you can do about it. If you want to make certain your packages are going to get to their destination, add insurance. Packages with insurance can be tracked like DC but they're more likely to make sure your package gets to you in good shape so they don't have to pay for a lost/damaged parcel.
Another thing. When sending MOC items use something as a packing material. It doesn't have to be bubble wrap or peanuts. It can be old newspaper. The purpose of packing material is not to keep the item safe from all damage. It's to keep your item from bouncing around inside the shipping box as it gets tossed from bin to bin. The USPS workers do not gently walk your package from bin to bin. They all get thrown! Yes, even the ones you mark ''fragile''.
I also agree with OV, have your shit ready to go before you get there! It's annoying as hell. Like a person at a fast food joint staring at the menu trying to decide wtf to order like they've never been there before. They have the same shit they've always had!
I would say always package your items with care, send them the way you would want to receive them.
