Automated Postal Centers Make Holiday Mailing Easy

Central, NJ— While Automated Postal Centers (APCs) will meet most of your shipping needs throughout the year, you’ll find that they are especially convenient during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

“The APC provides quick, easy, and convenient access to postal services,” says Central New Jersey’s District Manager/Executive-In-Charge, Vito J. Cetta. “Just as an ATM is a virtual stand-alone bank, the APC is a virtual stand-alone Post Office. But unlike the ATM, there’s no transaction fee. And with its easy access, you can avoid the holiday lines for the window counter.”

Most APCs locations provide access to postal services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Transactions may be conducted in English or Spanish. Using your credit or debit card, you can ship holiday packages weighing up to 70 pounds.

In addition to having a built-in electronic scale, the APC allows customers to calculate and obtain postage in any amount for Express Mail, Priority Mail, First-Class Mail, and Parcel Post. APCs also provide mailing information, including a convenient ZIP Code lookup feature.

“We know your time’s important,” adds Cetta, “especially during the holiday rush. Using the convenience the APC provides will make mailing this season much easier.”

There are a total of 21 Post Offices in the Central New Jersey area that offer 24-hour access to Automated Postal Centers.
