USPS Offers 'A Simpler Way to Holiday'

The November 18th issue of Postal Bulletin includes a “Publicity Kit: The Holidays Made Simple,” to encourage customers to order Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes, print shipping labels with postage using Click-N-Ship service, and schedule free package pickup.

Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes. Take the guesswork out of shipping with Priority Mail flat-rate items. Whatever fits in the box or envelope ships for one low price any­where in the United States. There’s no weighing or cal­culating involved if the package weighs less than 70 pounds: http://usps.com/shipping/prioritymail.htm

Click-N-Ship. Skip the trip to the Post Office by printing mailing labels with postage right from the convenience of your home or office. Customers get a discount on postage for domestic packages: Express Mail — 5 percent savings; Priority Mail — up to 14 percent savings: www.usps.com/clicknship/

Free Package Pickup. The Postal Service will pick up packages from homes and offices across the country. The service is free, regardless of the number of packages being sent. A letter carrier will pick up the packages during regular mail delivery service: www.usps.com/pickup/
