Box it up!Post Office Boxes

have been around for along time, but latelythey’re enjoying a resur-gence in popularity.

And they should be.Post Office Boxes offerour customers manybenefits. Typically, mail for PO Boxes is posted in themorning, meaning customers get their mail earlier in theday. Extended lobby hours in many Post Offices are mak-ing PO Boxes more accessible to customers who can’t visitus during regular business hours. And “Post Office BoxAvailability” tags are letting customers in our lobbies knowthat boxes are available for rent immediately.

Customers who can’t make it to our lobbies can goonline to check for available PO Boxes at www.usps.com/poboxes. Search by either ZIP Code or address for a list ofthe closest Post Offices with available box sizes and asso-ciated six-month box fees.

Increasing our Express Mail reachAs part of the Postal Service’s ongoing efforts to pro-

mote Express Mail, two postal areas announced significantimprovements to their overnight reach — a crucial part ofmaking the Postal Service’s premier product more attrac-tive to customers.

The Northeast and New York Metro Areas have bothannounced changes that put them on track to meet theorganization’s national target of 85 percent overnight deliv-ery by April.

In the Northeast Area, 271 more ZIP Code pairs havebeen upgraded from two-day to next-day. Other improve-ments include checking office times at retail acceptanceunits to ensure that overnight reach for both air and surfacedestinations have been addressed independently of eachother in the directories. Retail acceptance unit closingtimes also were extended to match the time retail countersclose, to ensure that customers in retail lobbies around

closing time still get a next-day commitment on theirExpress Mail.

The New York Metro Area upgraded 57 five-digit ZIPCodes from 3 P.M. to noon next-day service, and proposedlater standard times for retail acceptance units for 418 ZIPCodes.

New York Metro has only two districts with five-digitoffices — Caribbean and Westchester — that aren’t able toprovide 100-percent next-day delivery due to transporta-tion issues and their location. Still, fifteen ZIP Codes in theCaribbean and ten in Westchester will be upgraded fromtwo-day to next-day service.

Taking a bite out of ID theftThe Postal Service

has delivered an impor-tant letter from PMGJack Potter to the coun-try’s 121 million house-holds urging Americansto guard against identitytheft.

Potter said he waspleased a recent Fed-eral Trade Commission (FTC) survey on identity theft con-cluded that only 2 percent of all victims reported the theftwas connected to the mail. “But that’s still too many,”Potter wrote.

Now, USPS is teaming with the FTC to fight ID theft.“We will keep working to make the mail even more secureand strive to reduce that percentage to zero,” Potter wrote.“Your identity is valuable. If someone steals it to commitfraudulent acts, it can affect every aspect of your life —your credit standing, your ability to buy a car or house, evenget a job or medical care.”

The Postal Service has distributed an FTC brochureproviding tips and tools to help Americans protect theiridentities. Mailed with Potter’s letter, the brochure alsoincludes information to help people who become victims ofidentity theft.

USPS joins HBO to promote John Adams miniseries

USPS and HomeBox Office (HBO) arejointly promoting theupcoming cable net-work’s miniseries, JohnAdams, and NationalCard and Letter WritingMonth.

The HBO productionis based on the bookJohn Adams, by PulitzerPrize winner DavidMcCullough. The best-selling biography of thefounding father centerson the letters Adamsand his wife, Abigail,wrote each other duringtheir courtship and54-year marriage.

USPS has launched a multifaceted 60-day campaignhighlighting the HBO series’ focus on the Adams’ family let-ters and encouraging Americans to rediscover letterwriting — especially in March during National Card andLetter Writing Month.

The USPS campaign includes a national cancellationfeaturing an Adams quote, “Let us dare to read, think,speak and write,” and a new Web site —www.poweroftheletter.com. Postal receipts from point-of-service terminals and Automated Postal Centers willinclude the Adams quote and the Web site. Standees andwindow clings will appear in nearly 12,000 Post Officesaround the country promoting the Web site and theminiseries.

HBO will premiere its seven-part miniseries with twoepisodes on Sunday evening, March 16. Episodes 3–7 willair the subsequent five Sundays, with the series endingApril 20.

Business development teams go from pilot to permanent

The results are in, and the business development teams(BDTs) tested in 34 districts last year have been an over-whelming success. Now, every district will have a perma-nent BDT in place.

BDT members helped generate new revenue and retaincurrent customers. They also improved customer satisfac-tion and strengthened Business Connect and CustomerConnect participation, according to Deputy PMG PatDonahoe.

“More than ever, we need to focus our efforts on build-ing customer loyalty and profitability,” said Donahoe. “Iwould like to thank the 34 managers who took the lead toprove the BDTs a success. Your efforts have set the stagefor our organization as we move forward to meet customerneeds in a competitive environment.”

New BDT managers will be appointed in most districts.The Postal Service will also hire additional small businessspecialists in all districts. Each team will report to its districtmarketing manager. The full-scale program should be inplace by April.

DMM Revision: Premium Forwarding ServiceEffective March 2, 2008, Premium Forwarding Service

(PFS) is a permanent mail classification in section 507.3.0of Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service,Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®). We end the experiment atmidnight on March 1, 2008, and implement the permanentclassification and fees.

PFS is a personalized service for reshipping mail from acustomer’s primary address to a temporary address on aweekly basis using Priority Mail® service. With PFS, thePostal Service™ reships mail to customers who are awayfor at least 2 weeks and up to 1 year.

There are no major changes in the permanent PFSclassification compared with the experimental serviceoffering.

There were two minor changes made to the DMMlanguage. The name of the fee charged to customers whenthey apply to use PFS is now referred to as an “applicationfee” for consistency. Also, the references to oversizedparcels in renumbered sections 3.3.7 (formerly 709.4.3.7)and 3.4.1 (formerly 709.4.4.1) were removed due toredundancy. Although the references to oversized parcelshave been removed from the aforementioned sections, anyoversized parcel not requiring a scan or signature orarriving postage due at the primary address is still chargedthe appropriate oversized Parcel Post® rate.

When held to the light, a dark line (security thread) runs from top to bottom with the word “USPS” repeated.

There should be no discoloration around the dollar amounts, which might indicate the amounts were changed.

These appear in Postal Service Notice 299, U.S.Postal Money Order Reference Card, or online athttp://www.usps.com/missingmoneyorders/security.htm.

FinanceHousehold Diary Study

The Postal Service’s Household Diary Study (HDS), con-ducted since 1987, provides information about the con-tents of the mail sent and received by U.S. households. ThePostal Service™ uses this information to help understandwhy and how customers use the mail. The results are usedto:

Forecast mail volume.

Plan marketing strategies.

Provide information for rate-setting purposes.

The HDS is administered at Headquarters by the Officeof Demand Forecasting and Economic Analysis, Finance.NuStats, the HDS survey research firm contractor sinceJuly 1999, conducts the interviews and collects and ana-lyzes the HDS data throughout the year.

HDS is a two-stage survey. Stage 1 is the HouseholdInterview. NuStats sends an advance letter, signed by thepostmaster general, to a representative sample of U.S.households. This letter emphasizes the importance of theHDS and asks for participation. These sample householdsare contacted either by telephone or in person and asked

about the mail they send and receive, their adoption anduse of various communications’ technologies, their atti-tudes about mail service in general, and information relat-ing to their household and personal demographics. Thoserespondent households are recruited to participate in HDSStage 2.

Stage 2 is the Mail Diary. NuStats asks households thatagree to participate in Stage 2 to record information aboutthe mail they send and receive for a 7-day period fromMonday to Sunday. Information recorded includes numberof mailpieces received and sent, industry mail source, mailcharacteristics, and attitudes regarding mail received. Asan incentive for HDS Stage 2 participation, households areoffered the options of receiving $30 or a roll of 100First-Class Mail® stamps.

Customers who participate in Stage 2 of the HDS canexpect to receive their incentive about 2 months after theyreturn the diary packet to NuStats.

Data gathered in both HDS stages is available in a finalreport, The Household Diary Study — Mail Use and Atti-tudes. The report is published in hard copy and a free
