7 Practical Tips for Safer Parcel Delivery
Simple packaging and handoff practices that help local parcel deliveries go more smoothly.
Use suitable packaging
Choose a box, pouch or envelope that fits the item and protects it from normal handling.
Seal the package
Close openings securely. For documents or items affected by rain, use water-resistant protection.
Describe the item honestly
Accurate item descriptions help the service determine whether the item can be accepted.
Protect fragile items
Use cushioning and clearly tell HATTOD if the item is fragile before the booking is confirmed.
Use correct contact numbers
Confirm both sender and recipient numbers so the rider can coordinate pickup and handoff.
Do not send prohibited items
Review HATTOD’s prohibited-items policy before booking.
Keep the tracking number
Save your tracking reference until the delivery is completed.
