Holiday Shipping Made Easy By USPS
Joining Designing Spaces’ Host Debi Marie is Toni DeLancey, spokesperson for the United States Postal Service, with a message of good cheer about the new services offered with US Priority Mail. Now it is easier than ever. How? Improved USPS tracking – so you can know where your package is; and insurance included up to $50, plus, when you mail your package, you’ll know if the package will arrive in one-day, two-days, or three-days. Debi then gets an explanation on the different services and types of packages, including Priority Mail Express. Also, covered are ways to obtain the mailing boxes for free and the on-line services offered by the Post Office.
