– 20 – H E L P F U L H O L I D A Y H I N T S With 19 billion cards, letters and packages expected to be delivered this holiday season, the U.S. Postal Service has some tips to help get gifts to their destination swiftly and safely. Proper addressing and proper packaging will help the post office to give every gift the service it deserves. The Postal Service offers free, environmentally friendly Priority Mail and Express Mail boxes and envelopes. These supplies can be ordered at usps.com or picked up at the St. James Post Office. The Postal Service also offers prepackaged shipping products, READY POST, sold at the post office for customers needing sturdy, secure boxes and envelopes. Helpful packaging tips: • Make sure packages are able to withstand processing without the contents or packaging breaking. • Cushion items with bubble wrap, newspaper, or foam peanuts so they do not shift during transit. • Wrap each item separately when packing more than one item in the same box. • Remove batteries from electronic devices and wrap separately. • Close and shake the box to see if there is enough cushioning. If items are shifting, add more cushioning. • Mark packages Fragile in large Holiday Mailing Tips print on the outside of the box when shipping materials that might be more likely to break. • When re-using a box make sure previous labels and markings are covered before mailing. • Mark Perishable on packages that contain food or other items that can spoil. • Place an extra address label with the delivery and return address inside the package. This ensures the safe return of an item that could not be delivered should the outside label become damaged or fall off. • Always use tape designed for sealing shipping boxes. Do not use string, cellophane and masking tape to seal packages. • Packages can weigh up to 70 lbs. and measure up to 130 inches in combined length and width. Make sure the width is measured around the largest point of the package. Guidelines for addressing envelopes and packages: • Print complete address clearly. • A complete address includes: -the recipient’s name -PO Box or street number -street name -suffix (Ave., St., etc.) -directional (N, S, E, W) -secondary address (apt. or suite number) -city, state and 5-digit ZIP Code -For example: 123 S. Main St. Apt 4, Washington, DC 20001 • Use the proper ZIP Code. ZIP Codes can be found at usps.com or by calling 1-800- ASK-USPS. • Print the delivery and return addresses on the same side of the envelope or package. • Always use a return address. It tells the Postal Service where to return mail if it cannot be delivered. The Postal Service recommends the following mail-by dates to ensure your gift arrives on time: Dec. 20 - First-Class Mail and Priority Mail; Dec. 23 - Express Mail. Due to security requirements, packages bearing postage stamps that weigh more than 13 ounces must be presented to a retail associate at the Post Office and cannot be dropped in blue collection boxes. Editor’s Note: An independent federal agency, the U.S. Postal Service is the only delivery service that visits every address in the nation, 146 million homes and businesses, six days a week. It has 37,000 retail locations and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to pay for operating expenses, not tax dollars.
