On January 1, 2018, recycle any old copies of Publication 75, Mover’s Guide. All Post Offices™ will receive the new January – March 2018 issue of Publication 75 by December 31, 2017. Mover’s Guides ship quarterly to each Post Office; usage predetermines shipment amounts, with each Post Office receiving an adequate supply for each quarter. Post Offices receive replenishment supplies at the end of March, June, September, and December — once received, you must recycle the previous quarter’s material. To determine if the material is outdated, refer to the down date on the outside of the box.
Note: Offices receiving over 250 Mover’s Guides for the quarter will also receive a second shipment about 3 to 5 weeks after the initial shipment. If you need more Mover’s Guides, reorder through the eBuy2 website.
For further clarification, here is an example of the Mover’s Guide shipment and reorder process:
1. The North Pole branch in North Pole, AK, will receive 750 Mover’s Guides for Q1, 2018.
2. Upon receipt of the new Mover’s Guides, the North Pole branch must recycle all material with a down date of December 31, 2017.
3. Around February 1, 2018, the North Pole branch will receive 500 additional Mover’s Guides.
4. If the North Pole branch runs out of Mover’s Guides before March 15, they must reorder through the eBuy2 website.
