Publication 75, Mover’s Guide, News

As of January 1, 2014, recycle any old copies of Publica­tion 75, Mover’s Guide. All Post Offices™ should have received the new January–March 2014 issue of Publication 75 by December 31, 2013. Similar to last quarter’s shipment, the total quantity of Mover’s Guide copies sent to your facil­ity may have been reduced. In an effort to reduce waste and account for more customers submitting change-of-address orders online, fewer Mover’s Guide copies are needed. There are several things you can do to conserve as well:

n Make sure customers are aware that USPS.com® is the most convenient, safe, and secure way for cus­tomers to submit a change-of-address order.

n Encourage carriers to take ICOA message cards on their routes instead of Mover’s Guide copies.

n Give Mover’s Guide copies out to moving customers only.

Important Reminders

n Copies of Mover’s Guide must be kept behind the counter ONLY, not in inner or outer lobbies or on clerk counters.

n Customers unwilling or unable to submit their change of address at www.usps.com should be given a com­plete, unopened copy of Mover’s Guide.

n Provide no more than three copies of Mover’s Guide to each customer.

n Mover’s Guide is printed and distributed four times a year.

Shipment Information and Inventory Management

Offices will continue to receive copies of Mover’s Guide in one or two shipments. The first shipments should have arrived by the end of December. The second shipments will arrive 3 to 5 weeks later.

n Boxes with YELLOW stickers are the first shipment for this print run.

ICOA Message Card Information

If your Post Office has an ICOA message card display, replenishment cards and updated banners will be mailed with your Mover’s Guide shipments. DO NOT THROW AWAY THE DISPLAY OR ICOA MESSAGE CARDS. THEY DO NOT EXPIRE. The display is REQUIRED to be in the lobby and it must have the ICOA message cards in it at all times.

If any Post Office runs out of ICOA message cards between shipments, use the website at http://imagitas.com/contact/postal-request-form/ or call 800-816-6837 for replenishment.
