NEW YORK CITY (5 BOROUGHS) AND LONG ISLAND – El Servicio Postal de los EE. UU. recibió el nuevo año consciente de que su tiempo y dinero son valiosos y que puede ayudarle a ahorrar con productos y servicios como rastreo de envíos gratis y con la primera estampilla Forever para envíos internacionales.

A partir del 27 de enero, 2013, USPS ofrecerá Rastreo gratis (antes conocido como Confirmación de Entrega) al hacer envío mediante Express Mail, Priority Mail o Standard Post (antes conocido como Parcel Post). 

• La nueva mejora al servicio ofrece a los clientes la oportunidad de saber cuándo llega el envío — sin un costo adicional.
• Esto significa un ahorro de 75 centavos por artículo en la ventanilla.
• Se acabó el perder tiempo con otra etiqueta de Confirmación de Entrega — el número de rastreo postal está rápidamente disponible en el recibo de envío.

Como parte de la iniciativa del nuevo año, el Servicio Postal ha de introducir las estampillas Global Forever. El costo de las estampillas Global Forever será equivalente al precio actual para las piezas de 1 onza con destino al extranjero sin importar cuál sea el aumento de tarifa — por siempre. Los clientes pueden confiar que los envíos que hagan a través del Servicio Postal serán entregados de forma confiable y segura en cualquier lugar del mundo.

El Servicio Postal quiere que su experiencia de envíos sea excepcionalmente fácil.  Además, puede encontrar sobres y cajas gratis en las oficinas de correo local para envíos de tarifa fija de Express Mail y Priority Mail o puede ordenarlas por Internet en shop.usps.com.  El franqueo, las etiquetas y los formularios de aduanas pueden descargarse en cualquier momento usando el servicio de Click-N-Ship.  El Servicio Postal ofrece a los clientes que hagan envíos de correo regular (Standard Post) cajas ReadyPost en una variedad de tamaños.

El Servicio Postal no recibe dinero de los contribuyentes para sus operaciones y depende de la venta de franqueo, productos y servicios para financiar sus operaciones.

The U.S. Postal Service is ringing in the new year knowing that your time and money are valuable — and that it can help with cost-saving products and services like free package tracking and the first-ever Forever stamp for international mailing.

Beginning Jan. 27, 2013, free USPS Tracking (formerly Delivery Confirmation) will be offered when shipping packages with Express Mail, Priority Mail or Standard Post (Formerly known as Parcel Post). 

• This new service enhancement provides customers with the ability to know when their package has arrived — at no additional cost. 
• That’s a savings of 75 cents per item at retail counters.
• No more fiddling around with an extra Delivery Confirmation label — the postal tracking number is readily accessible on the mailing receipt.

Joining the new year’s lineup, the Postal Service is launching Global Forever stamps. The value of the Global Forever stamps will equal the current 1-ounce mailpiece price for overseas destinations no matter what the rate increase — forever.  Customers can be confident that shipping with the Postal Service will provide reliable, trusted and secure delivery anywhere in the world.

The Postal Service wants to make your mailing experience exceptionally easy.  In addition, Flat Rate Express Mail and Priority Mail envelopes and boxes are available at no cost at local Post Offices, or can be ordered online at shop.usps.com.  Postage, labels and customs forms can be printed online anytime using Click-N-Ship.  For customers shipping Standard Post, the Postal Service offers ReadyPost boxes in a variety of sizes.
