Here are some tips to help avoid late delivery and other issues with packages you mail out:

• Avoid letter shipments showing up late -
  • drop off at a post office that is a regional hub
  • try a different drop off location like a different blue mailbox

• Avoid late deliveries and damage to letters - don't mail packages from your house, prefer dropping letter packages in a blue mailbox
• Avoid having post office employees assess extra postage on letter shipments on the buyer - use a blue mailbox rather than handing letters over to a post office employee

• Avoid tracked packages stating in a "label created" state - when dropping off or having a tracked package picked up, ask the postal worker to scan it immediately, to avoid packages appear as "label created" to the buyer when viewing tracking info
