USPS Returns — After the Holidays and Anytime

After the holiday gift-giving is over, it’s time for the gift-returning. The U.S. Postal Service™ makes returns shipping easy and convenient by offering a lineup of options that fit the needs of both consumers and merchants.

USPS Returns® include Priority Mail® Return Service, First-Class Package Return Service, and Ground Return Service. These services include tracking on each package and offer simplified payments for larger shippers.

If the merchant didn’t include a prepaid return label with the order, the Postal Service™ offers several convenient ways to return those unwanted gifts. Consumers can go to Click-N-Ship® online at http://usps.com/clicknship to print a label — Delivery Confirmation™ is included at no additional charge for Priority Mail — and schedule a free package pickup. Or cus­tomers can visit a retail location or stop by a self-service kiosk and get tracking at no additional charge when the package is identified as a return.

From retail locations to online postage payment and free package pickup, USPS™ makes returns shipping easy.

On January 27, 2013, USPS will introduce Parcel Return Service-Full Network for high-volume shippers. It will offer the benefits of free tracking, simplified payment, and flexible label printing options.

For more information on returns, customers can visit USPS.com® and explore the possibilities — for holiday returns — and anytime!
