[QUOTE="vin, post: 181453, member: 9475"] How about placing the label so the tracking number is completely on one side of the package? I understand that with smaller packages it is not always possible to get the label on one side, but please don't put it so the tracinng number goes around a corner. On a related note, for thin tubes or other similar packages don't place the label so the tracking number goes completely around the package. The scanners we use have limited tolerances for scanning barcodes that are not completely flat. If the package is too thin to have the tracking number flat and not wrap around and cover itself, then cut it in half across an put the two halves next to each other. Don't place the label across seams, straps, flaps, etc, on the box. If you are reusing a box, either remove or cross out the old label so that we can easily tell which is the good address. Sorters only have a few seconds to determine where to sort a package and sorting it correctly the first time will reduce the number of handles and the chances of it being damaged. Keep in mind that tape and labels do not stick very well to some types of metal, wood, plastic, (generally anything that is not paper or cardboard). Please make sure that the label will stay on the package. [/QUOTE]
