Tape up your boxes securely using clear wide box tape, We recommend reinforcing all corners of the box, then go completely around the box. We do not recommend using inexpensive duct tape. In the heat of the summer, duct tape will peel off of your your box. If you do use it, it is recommended to go over the top of it with clear wide box tape. Always write your addresses legibly on the box with permanent marker before you tape over it.
