- For answers to commonly asked Post Office questions, see below.
Fannie Franker's Post Office is where you can retrieve messages, or buy crates to place in your garden. You can then pack up to five of the same items, including pinatas, helpers, accessories, plants, fences, or other garden objects, and send them to anyone on your friends list via Xbox Live. If you send a crate to someone else and they don't claim it within two weeks it will be returned to you.
Crates only cost one chocolate coin to buy, and don't cost anything to send.
You can only pack one kind of object in a single crate. You can even pack up a sour pinata and ship it off to an enemy. The recipient can tell what's in a crate before they place the contents in their garden.
An alert will come up letting you know that a package has arrived. To get the contents of the package you must go to the Post Office and press 
to bring up any package that is in your mailbox. Then set the package in your garden and unload the contents that your friend sent.
