What Is A "Drop-N-Tell?"

A “drop-n-tell” indicator is something applied to a mailing carton or box that will alert the recipient of shock damage to the box during transit. These indicators often come with labels designed to alert shippers and receivers to the indicators. Using such indicators can improve your chances of a successful insurance claim against a negligent carrier or in case of an accident in transit where your goods are involved. If you frequently ship high-risk materials or have had a string of problems with damaged mail, this may be an excellent deterrent.
