The Postal Service's confirmation services are valuable to mailers who need to know when and to whom their mailing was delivered. This new, enhanced proof of delivery service provides all the benefits of Delivery Confirmation and more. Along with delivery information, the recipient's name and signature are captured and stored by the Postal Service. Customers can request that a copy of the signed delivery record be faxed or mailed to them by calling a toll-free number or by making the request via the Internet.
Customers also can view the recipient's first initial and last name on the Internet.
This service was made available in February. Delivery and Signature Confirmation are offered at all University Mail Services locations. The wording and placement of the endorsement MUST meet USPS requirements. Endorsements instruct the USPS to forward your mail, return undelivered mail to you, provide both forwarding and return services, or other options. The key is to know how you want the USPS to handle mail with undeliverable addresses.
