 BREAST CANCER RESEARCH STAMP EXTENDED
Sale of Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamps will continue through 2011.
Legislation passed recently by Congress and signed by the president granted the extension.
Since the stamp first went on sale in 1998, the Postal Service has sold more than 806 million stamps, raising $60.1 million for breast cancer research.
Semipostal stamps are First-Class Mail postage stamps that are issued and sold by the Postal Service at a price above the First-Class Mail single-piece first-ounce rate to raise funds for designated causes.
2007 ANNUAL COMPLIANCE REPORT
The Postal Service filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission its Annual Compliance Report detailing costs, revenues and volumes for each class and type of mail. The report also provides service measurement and customer satisfaction data and shows how the Postal Service met its obligations under the Postal Reorganization Act.
PARCEL SELECT— A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
Looking for an inexpensive and reliable way to ship packages? Parcel Select has the perfect recipe.
Parcel Select is an economical ground delivery service that maximizes the capabilities of parcel consolidators who pick up packages from a company and transport them to a destinating Post Office or bulk mail center. The Postal Service handles the “last-mile” residential delivery. Because consolidators combine packages from different companies and move them closer to their ultimate destination, there’s a lower shipping rate per piece.
“Parcel Select works for us,” says Beverley Smith, vice president of operations for International Masters Publishers Inc., which sells information cards on topics like wildlife, recipes and gardening through direct mail and imponline.com. “It offers the right mix of price, speed and consistency that we need to satisfy our customers.”
Parcel Select offers value-added services, including manifesting, insurance, tracking, free Delivery Confirmation and many other options. Three choices of entry level offer three levels of savings.
Parcel Select demonstrates the strength of combined Postal Service and consolidator expertise. Learn more about Parcel Select at usps.com.
