Help needed to address STJ USPS box

Post by sandollar »

Hi, Just decided we should, for the first time, mail ahead to Cruz Bay one of the flat rate boxes. I recall there is a very specific way to address the label so it arrives timely. Now I regret not printing it out when it was discussed here! :oops:

Can anyone tell us the format to be used and any other helpful hints for a first time mailing?

Thanks and Happy New Year.

Be sure to use all Capital Letters and no punctuation.

Also, be sure to get a delivery confirmation.

Mine got there in a week and that was during the busy Christmas times.

Take care,
N

Use the click-n-ship form form usps.com, which'll give you a barcode, and will make sure that your address is USPS specific.

I second the Click N Ship. It is formatted in the precise way that the USPS scanners like to read and it can really help speed things along PLUS they give you a small discount for paying/printing postage online.

I tried Click n' Ship for the first time this Christmas to send packages to my family. It's easy, I love the delivery confirmation, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out the postage is discounted! My packages got to Northern California and Washington in 3 days the week before Christmas! :D

USPS package mailing

Thanks everyone: NancyB, Lazylane, Lovermont, stjohn julie (nice to see you back on the boards!) and California Girl. Now I have all the details, package will go out Mon or Tues. Without you folks, I'd be fumbling around and package probably wouldn't arrive in time! Again, thanks for all your support!
