Automated Postal Centers Make Holiday Mailing Easy

24-Hour Centers To Offer Holiday Nutcracker Stamps

COLUMBUS — While Automated Postal Centers (APCs) will meet most of your shipping needs throughout the year, postal customers will find that they are especially convenient during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.  Beginning Nov. 28, customers throughout the Columbus Postal District will find the APC’s stocked with the popular Holiday Nutcracker Stamps.  Four eye-catching nutcracker designs are featured on the stamps.

APCs 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.  The APCs also provide a mailing date and a receipt which acts as proof of mailing.

“We know your time’s important,” adds Columbus Postmaster Robin Ware.  “Especially during the holiday rush.  Use of the APCs’ convenient 24-hour, seven-day-a-week accessibility will make mailing this season much easier.”
