We had some shipping to do while on Paris. We wanted to ship a suitcase to Spain for when we…read morearrived in Santiago several weeks later.
We checked with two different post offices including this one about requirements. "Do we need a box?", we asked. "No", was the reply at this spot and the other spot across town.

And, wrap the whole thing up to send off.
I would rate that as retry poor. Two stars for a clean establishment and friendly, yet mistrained, personnel.
