Christmas Mail Tips

*Be very accurate
- Like with Apartment numbers make sure there's the # sign even if its a letter apartment. Also if the letter is N, S, E or W Please make the distinction between its the apt rather than the direction of a street.

*Always have a zip code.
- There's a better chance of it going to the correct home. We can send it without but its easier.

*Write BIG and CLEAR
- The computers that scan the letters always add stuff to the image so with big and clear letters it is easier to know what to key.

*Write in Ball Point Pen - No sharpies
- The computers seem to go right through marker or sharpie and make it unreadable.

*Write the Receiver Address in the right spot
- Please don't right it close to the bottom. The sticker that the computer puts on there ("the barcode") will go over the address and won't be readable.

*Don't write your address on the back flap.
- It makes it easier for us if it gets returned - less time the image of the mail piece is in the system, the faster it gets back to you.

*If you get mail for someone else at your house:
- We won't except a written RTS or Return to Sender (we reject them)
- If you know the FOWARDING address then we can except a handwritten address.

*If the address you are sending it to has a South, North, East, West at the end of the street address, make sure it is written to ensure a timely accurate delivery.

*We are expecting large mail "volumes" by Dec. 6th for Christmas mail. So try to get it out early to make sure it gets to everyone on time!
