Beginning July 1, 2012, recycle any old copies of Publication 75, Mover’s Guide. All Post Offices should receive the new July–September 2012 issue of Mover’s Guide by June 30, 2012. Similar to last quarter’s shipment, the total quantity of Mover’s Guide copies sent to your facility may have been reduced. In an effort to reduce waste and account for more customers submitting change-of-address orders online, fewer Mover’s Guide copies are needed. There are several things you can do to conserve as well:
n Make sure customers are aware that USPS.com® is the most convenient, safe, and secure way for customers to submit a change-of-address order.
n Encourage carriers to carry ICOA message cards on their routes instead of Mover’s Guide copies.
n Give Mover’s Guide copies out to moving customers only.
n Copies of Mover’s Guide must be kept behind the counter ONLY, not in inner or outer lobbies or on clerk counters.
n Customers unwilling or unable to submit their change of address at www.usps.com should be given a complete, unopened copy of Mover’s Guide.
n Provide no more than three copies of Mover’s Guide to each customer.
n Mover’s Guides are printed and distributed four times a year.
Offices will continue to receive copies of Mover’s Guide in one or two shipments. The first shipments should arrive at the end of June. The second shipments will arrive 3 to 5 weeks later. Boxes with pink stickers are the first shipment for this print run. Boxes with green stickers are the second and final shipment for this print run.

If your Post Office™ has an ICOA message card display, replenishment cards and updated banners will be mailed with your Mover’s Guide shipments. Do not throw the display away. The display is required to be in the lobby and expected to have the ICOA message cards in it at all times.
If any Post Office runs out of ICOA message cards between shipments, use the website at http://imagitas.com/contact/postal-request-form/ or call 800-816-6837 for replenishment.
