In order that senders of insured or
C. o. D. mail may protect themselves
against repeated forwarding of such
mail on the requests of addresses,
the senders may, if they desire, in
dorse the parcels, do not forward" in
which event postma sters will ignore
the forwarding orders of addresses
and Immediately return the parcels to
the senders rated up with the amount
of postage to be collected on return
to senders, unless it is known the ad-
dresses are temporarily absent from
the place of address and it will be
possible to deliver at the Office Of
original address within the period
specified in the return card of The
senders, or within 80 days if no such
period is stated.
It is realized that a great many in
sured parcels are mailed by individu-
ais, other than firms, who do not use
typed or printed labels bearing in
structions of any kind in addressing
their parcels. 1t will therefore not be
required, for the present at least, that
these individuals or postmAsters write

forwarding postage on such insured
parcels, but of course it is expected
that such parcels will be treated as
though the guarantees were placed on
the parcels. On the other hand,
there are quite a number of insured
parcels which are mailed by firms who
use printed or typed labels, wrappers,
| or envelopes, and in such cases, al
though it will not be required at this
time that these labels, wrappers, or
envelopes bear the postage guarantees,
it is expected in the near future that
this will be requirement which must
be met by all those who specially pre-
pare labels, wrappers, and envelopes
in advance for their insured mailings
Almost all collect-on-deIivery matter
is mailed by firms who prepare labels,
wrappers, or envelopes in advance and
while the labels, wrappers, or envel-
opes which have already been prepar-
ed may be used provided any objection
| able matter thereon is crossed off as
hereinbefore indicated, in the near
future it will be expected that all firms
patronizing the collect-on-delivery
service will have their labels and
wrappers and envelopes specially print
ed to guarantee the return and for
warding postage in every instance.
This will be imperative for firms us
ing specially prepared labels, wrappers
and envelopes for any insured or. C.
0. ID. mail as soon as their present
stock of such labels, wrappers and en-
welcomes hor0maa avhouc%ad
In the event any sender does not de-
sire an undelivered insured or C. O. D.
parcel returned to him, appropriate in
structions as to the disposition, to
be made of the parcel must in each
instance appear on the parcel. A par
eel of this character which can not
be delivered to the original address
see or in accordance with the sender's
alternate instructions on the parcel
when mailed will be considered as
| abandoned and thereafter the send
er will have no claim upon it, nor be
entitled to any reimbursement or in
demnity. Such parcel which is not
of a perishable nature should be in
dorsed Abandoned" when it becomes
unbelievable and sent to the post
Office to which dead parcel post mail
is ordinarily transmitted.
Postmasters should seek the coop
GRAFTON of those patrons who insure or
send parcels delivery, with q
view of having their labels specially
modified or printed at an early date
to conform to this new requirement
for the guaranty of return and for
warding postage. The Endorsement on
the parcels or labels should read sub
stantially as follows: Return and for
warding postage guaranteed" This in
dorsement may be written with pen
and ink, typed, rubber stamped or
printed. The use of ordinary lead
pencil for this purpose is objection
able.
These instructions apply TO insured
and C. O. D. parcels mailed on and
after August 1, 1925, and do not ap-
ply to such parcels mailed prior to
that date which may be received for
delivery on and after that date.
The senders of insured parcels mail
ed on and after August /, 1925, which
become unbelievable for any reason
will not be notified of the non-delivery
of the parcels except in those cases
where the addresses of insured par
cells actually and unqualifedly refuse
to accept them, and the sender's re-
turn requests show a specified period
Of time for which the parcels should
be held before being returned as UNI
deliverable. Refused insured parcels
on which the senders do not state a
specified time to be held before being
returned as unbelievable shall be re-
turned Immediately and no notice sent
to the senders for such parcels.
When a C. 0. D. parcel mailed on or
after August /, 1925, is actually and
unqualifedly refused, the sender should
unless instructions to the contrary are
received in response to such notice,
the refused C. o. D. parcel must be
held for the time indicated in the
sender's return request not in excess
of 80 days or for so days if no period
is stated.
The object in sending notice for re-
fused insured and G. 0. D. parcels
is to permit the senders to make re-
quest for a second attempt to deliver
upon furnishing the additional local
rate of postage which is required in
every instance where it is desired that
the refused insured or C. O. D. parcel
be again presented for delivery.
Send to Dead Letter Office.
