Postal Letter

Can I send a suitcase using the united states postal service? How?--do they shrinkwrap it, or what?

And, uh, I'm nowhere near a UPS or anything, so I can't use them. Thanks!

1. just make sure it's locked and the address label can't fall off (wrap plastic tape around it a few times and attach the label to that we deliver suitcases all the time
2. I work in the military and we send suitcases back home all the time from our deployments, etc...when we send those through the US Postal office we just zip it up and send it. I would recommend it NOT being a nice new one...they get pretty beat up, just like packages do in the mail system. If you have a lock for it, wouldn't hurt but be ready to open it in front of the postal clerk. I'm sure they can suggest shrinkwrapping it to keep it protected but I doubt they offer that service there. Good luck!
3. It depends on how big the package is. They have a size limit so you would have to go there and have it measured by the clerk. The suitcase would have to go in a box. They can't ship it any other way.
