ISN’T IT TIME TO RETHINK
YOUR SHIPPING?
This holiday, the U.S. Postal Service is giving you something you can
really use. More time. Do all your shipping and more online. Pay postage
and print shipping labels. Order flat-rate boxes, the ultimate gift
box. Check holiday mailing dates. All at a time and day convenient to
you. Here are some time-saving tips and free services to help make the
holidays a little brighter:
FREE package pickup: Don’t fight Mother Nature. Stay inside where it’s
nice and warm and let the Postal Service do what it does best – pick up
and deliver mail. Prepare Priority Mail and Express Mail packages then
notify us online at usps.com/pickup that they’re ready to be picked up.
Free package pickup is available from home or office, regardless of the
weather. Unlike other shipping companies, there is no fee for the service.
FREE eco-friendly boxes and envelopes: Send a very “green” holiday
message across town or around the world when sending Priority Mail
and Express Mail packages and envelopes. The U.S. Postal Service is
the only mailing or shipping company in the nation to achieve
“Cradle to Cradle”SM Certification for human and environmental health.
These supplies are 100-percent recyclable. To make it even easier,
the same box can be used for domestic or international mail.
FREE shipping supplies: Tape, labels, international mailing products,
even customs forms are available online at usps.com – at no charge.
Chose from a variety of Priority Mail and Express Mail envelopes and
packages, including the popular flat-rate box, and Priority Mail boxes
for mailing videos, DVDs or CDs. Stop wasting time searching for a
cardboard box or abandoned shoe box. Everything you need is online
and can be shipped to your home or office.
FREE military Care Kits: The Postal Service has created a special mailing
and shipping kit designed specifically for military families sending packages
overseas. Each Care Kit contains two Priority Mail boxes, six Priority
Mail Flat Rate boxes, eight Priority Mail labels, one roll of Priority Mail
tape and eight customs forms with envelopes. Call 1-800-610-8734 and
ask for the Care Kit.
