Postal Letter - When you mail something through United States Postal Service, can you mail to someone underage?

When you mail something through United States Postal Service, can you mail to someone underage?

Like I live miles away from my family, I wanted to mail two gift boxes to my little brother. He's seven, and the other is a teenager. Do I have to address my parents, or can I address my brother and maybe my parents sign on it when the man comes to the door with the package?

address to the person the gift is for !
Yes, of course you can send mail to children. It may require an adult to sign for a package, but there's no delivery confirmation signature required unless you specifically request it and pay extra.
The lack of common sense in this world is really starting to amaze me. First how in the world would anyone ever find out that you are mailing something to an under aged person? The mail man will not go knock on the door and ask the recipient for their ID and proof of age. There is no minimum age requirement for those receiving mail. Mail away to who ever you want.
You can address it to your little brother. The post office doesn't ask for signatures on delivery unless you specifically request it, and even if you did your parents could sign for it.
Of course you can mail to an underage person. How is the USPS supposed to know how old he is? Yes, your parents will sign.
You can send it to him.
If the kids are underage, I normally will make it out like this: To: Billy Johnson c/o Parent name address city and state
As long as there is nothing illegal in the packages (alcohol, drugs, weapons, etc.), you can mail whatever you want to a minor.
are you saying you never got a gift in the mail while you were under aged? thats just kind of silly to think that you cant send someone a gift because of that reason. just package it up, address it to him and send it. when the package arrives ANYONE can sign for it.. thats just a receipt that the package has been received
