Important Mover’s Guide Information

• Mover’s Guides are printed and distributed three times per year — December (for January use), April (for May use), and August (for September use).
• It is important that all offices distribute the entire Mover’s Guide to customers. The Mover’s Guide contains instructions on how to fill out the change-of-address form and valuable move-related offers, and it generates revenue for the Postal Service.™
• Post Offices must recycle old versions of the Mover’s Guide, as these contain expired forms, information, and coupons that cannot be used by the postal consumer.
• In an effort to reduce waste and still provide each postal facility with the proper quantity of Mover’s Guides, call 800-816-6837 if you receive too many or too few Mover’s Guides or if you have questions about your quantity.
• To find out when shipments will arrive, check http://blue.usps.gov/purchase/operations/ops_downloads.htm.
• If your facility receives an entire pallet of Mover’s Guides, break down the pallet. It may contain boxes that need to be shipped to other facilities, and this will ensure all facilities receive their needed supply.

Keep track of your inventory. Businesses and other organizations must purchase the Mover’s Guide and can obtain order forms by calling Imagitas at 800-816-6837. For further information, visit our Frequently Asked Questions at http://blue.usps.gov/delret/L4CustServSupp_ Mover.htm.

Catalog Address Change and Request Card

• The Catalog Address Change and Request Card is attached to PS Form 3575, Change-of-Address Order, and allows movers to let catalogers know their new address.
• Important Note: The Catalog Address Change and Request Card must be detached from PS Form 3575, the catalog description card, and the online adoption message. The Catalog Address Change and Request Card and PS Form 3575 should be mailed separately. This is important for change-of-address processing.

Remember, consumers can change their address online at www.usps.com: under “Would you like to…?” at the bot­tom, click Change your address.
