Mother’s Day was the start of another season of mailing and shipping opportunities for the Postal Service™. Still to come in June is Father’s Day, and in between will be high school and college graduations, birthdays, and wedding celebrations.
And, with the summertime vacation season just ahead, people also will be looking for a simpler way to ship those T-shirts, souvenirs, and other items purchased at the beach or mountains.
This is a great time to remind our customers about the ease, value, and convenience of Priority Mail Flat Rate® shipping and free package pickup. Remind customers to visit www.prioritymail.com to explore Priority Mail Flat Rate options, including Prepaid Forever® packaging with Forever postage already applied. They also can see “if it fits” by trying out the Virtual Box Simulator, which enables customers to use a webcam to project box holograms to compare the size of an item to be shipped to the size of a virtual box.
Of course, customers also can explore the entire lineup of Priority Mail® options and order packaging at USPS.com®. While they’re there, they can print shipping labels and pay for postage online, then schedule a free package pickup. Let your customers know that our carriers not only deliver — they’ll pick up while they’re stopping at your address.
It’s a shipping combo that can’t be beat. Summertime is here, and the shipping is indeed easy with USPS®!
