I've never mailed a small package to someone, how do I go about doing this?

Question

Does the post office provide a box? Do you buy them? How much is it? I have to send things to Iowa, and Canada.

Answer 1

If you're packaging many or a big itme, you should already have it boxed and labeled clearly with the to address in the middle and your address on the left, just like a letter. If it's a small gift you acn purchase special bubble wrap envelopes at the post office, which are pretty cheap. Depending where you are things will cost more, and how heavy your items are.
