CORRECTIONS

Pumpkin Decorating Contest

The article "Field Information Kit: Postal Service and Hershey's Pumpkin Decorating Contests" in Postal Bulletin 22161 (8-18-05, pages 8-21) contained four errors. The corrections are given here with the corrected information in bold and italics.

On page 8, an incorrect Web site to register for the local Sweetest Pumpkin Contest was given. The correct Web site is http://mcd.tteam.com/skudb/srchsm.cfm.

On page 14, an error was made concerning the use of postage stamps when requesting Carrier PickupTM service. The corrected text is given below.

Can I use stamps for postage?

Yes. Postage may be prepaid using convenient postage options such as stamps, Click-N-Ship® service, PC Postage®, or postage meters.

On page 15, a comma was missing in the list of required conditions for placing packages with online labels and postage in mailboxes. The corrected text is given below.

 

 

Can I place packages with online labels and postage in the blue Postal Service street mailboxes?

Yes, but only if the following apply: the package has a domestic Express Mail or Priority Mail label complete with PC Postage, has a return address, was paid for with a credit card, and fits in the blue street mailbox opening. Larger packages may be dropped at your local Post Office, handed to your letter carrier, or picked up after you schedule a pickup online.

Lastly, on page 15, the measurements for mailing a package with Click-N-Ship service were incorrect. The corrected text is given below.

What size package can I mail with Click-N-Ship service?

Click-N-Ship packages may measure up to 108 inches in length and girth, and weigh a maximum of 70 pounds.
