If you have to go to somewhere like a post office, why don't you leave the packages there, to be picked up? Most confusing to someone who had never heard of them until they appeared as a tag.

Typically people will use the FedEx box for document sized envelopes, about 10" x 12" (roughly 25cm x 30cm). FedEx customers will have an account set up ahead of time. They will either use a hand-written label with their account number on it or they'll print out a label from their PC using FedEx software or FedEx online. Depending on how your account is set up, they'll charge your credit card or bill you at the end of the month.
