Helpful Tips – Include a note with your name and email address INSIDE your package

 

When you mail off an envelope or a package of coupons to your ‘adopted’ military family, we strongly recommend including a piece of paper with your name and your email address inside the package.   Since the envelopes and packages are traveling halfway around the world, they are subjected to a lot of handling, from the point they leave your hands until they arrive in your family’s mailbox.     Address labels are often missing or illegible by the time the package is received, and postmarks don’t always give a clear indication of who the package is from.

Many of our overseas families are receiving coupons from their own family members or friends back in the states or from other CouponsToTroops senders, so without a note inside the package, your family may not know who the package is from, making it virtually impossible to notify you about its arrival and to thank you for the coupons.

Larger packages will arrive with the customs form still intact, so in those instances your family will know who the package is from, but they may not have easy or instant access to your email address, so the note inside with that info will be very helpful.

I receive several notifications each week from overseas families letting me know that they have received coupons but they are not sure who they are from.   Your name and email address included inside the package will increase the likelihood that your family will contact you to acknowledge the receipt of the coupons and  to express their appreciation for your support.

    Thanks! I will do that. Sent off two boxes – one to Guam and one to Japan for $10 each and do not know if they got them.
