Take this opportunity to learn tips to make your mailing experience easier:

  • Does your mail have a deadline or need correspondence? Plan ahead and mail early.
  • Mail long-distance packages and envelopes early. If it takes longer than a day to drive the mail to its destination, send it a few days early.
  • Keep mailing letters! Most First-Class mail isn’t affected by the changes.
