If you wish to make a transaction on a Wednesday, you must mail your scan sheet on Tuesday. When you mail the scan sheets, make sure the mailbox has a scheduled pick-up later that day. If it is mailed too late it might be postmarked the next day. You will not get your transaction on the day you want it. If the postmark and purchase day are not as required, the transaction will be adjusted to take place the day after the postmark.
Many schools use postage meters.
The date of the metered postage must be the same as the official postmark by the post office. See the SMG Calendar in your team folder for guidelines on what day you should postmark your transactions. If we receive a transaction with an improper postmark, we will change the transaction day to be the day after the postmark. Make sure there is a pick up that day. Some mailboxes do not get picked up on weekends.
