   Packages like this can be very misleading, however I see more and more companies using these kinds of mailers to grab your attention making you think you have won something or qualify. I will say they typically look fake at first site, but some still may fall for it.

   Although what is important to some is not to others this propaganda serves it immediate function well.

   This type of package labeling reminds me of the "boy who cried wolf" Because labeling unimportant mail as urgen will diminish the reputation of PCH. As mail receivers, getting a flood of junk mail that is labeled urgent will cause us to ignore urgent labels in the future.

   This definitely makes one feel urgency, and at the same time it would also create some doubt in me if I were to receive a package that imitates Fedex, however I do believe it does seem helpful at the same time.

   The interpretation is harmful because it used deceptive tactics to raise the emotion of the receiver of the package. Anything done with deceitful intent is harmful.

   I am neutral on this. I wouldn't think twice about it, and would throw it away if I wasn't expecting mail from anyone.

   The use of the FedEx style packaging does invoke an emotion of urgency. The deception could be harmful to those who are also sucked in by the Ethiopian prince deals too. It also reminds me of the "You've won a free cruise" gimmicks.

   How can this be seen as beneficial? How is the sender supposed to be sure that what is inside is safe? Immediate action on things can be a good thing, yet caution also needs to be exuded.
   I was in the middle percentage.

   For this its a little scary because its just the envelope and your not sure if its good news or bad news so they are confusing you with that

   This plays on people and their emotions because they think it actually urgent but it's just an add inside

   This article just shows that the company wants you to think you are important but to them you are just a number. Even Though it was probably shipped in a decent time.

   Nice idea for advertising material. The pen ink is red but the letters are not too big nor intrusive, simply inviting a reader to take a closer look and read what does it say. The color of red nicely matches the whole red-coloured structure of information emphasized. Handwriting by-hand implies intimate, personal content, as if it's from a friend or a family member.
