Heading to the post office with a parcel? Properly securing it is crucial to ensure it arrives intact, not scattered in pieces for the recipient.
This time-tested trick, favored by experienced shippers, uses wet natural rope. As it dries, the rope shrinks, creating a rock-solid bind that holds everything together.
1. Choose natural fiber rope, like jute or hemp.
2. Soak the rope fully in water.
3. Tie your parcel securely with the wet rope.
Your package is now locked tight and won't budge. Skip plastic strings—they won't shrink and the trick fails.
