SPECIAL MAILING INSTRUCTIONS
|
This Christmas and the next are different from past years because Mike, Celine and the kids are stationed overseas.
The ONLY WAY packages and mail can be shipped to Michael, Celine and the kids, is via the United States Post Office. When you ship a package or mail to a Military base, you are only paying for shipping charges inside the United States. The postal items are actually delivered to a Military base in the United States, picked up by the Military and delivered to the address on the package. There are no International charges.
When you go to the Post Office you are required to fill-out a customs form only for packages. Mail does not need to have a customs form filled-out. In order to insure arrival before Christmas, gifts and cards need to be mailed to Mike, Celine and the kids before the dates shown below. Domestic Mail This year, December 22 is the drop-dead date to
send letters or packages to family and friends within the United States.
However, expect long lines and higher fees for waiting until the last minute,
so make sure to plan ahead. Domestic mail deadlines include: · Parcel Post – December 14 · First Class Mail – December 20 · Priority Mail – December 21 · Express Mail – December 22 (confirm
with local Post Office) Other Overseas Military Installations
(APO/FPO/DPO AE) If you have a loved stationed on an installation
elsewhere around, the following deadlines apply to you: · Parcel Post – November 13 · Space Available Mail – November 26 · Parcel Airlift Mail – December 3 · Priority Mail – December 10 · First Class Mail – December 10 · Express Mail – December 17 International Address Deadlines for sending ending mail to another
country varies based on geographic location. You can go here to determine which date(s)
that apply to you: · First Class International Mail – December 3-10 · Priority Mail International – December 3-13 · Express Mail International – December 11-17 · Global Express Guaranteed – December 18-20 These deadlines are based on information received from the US Post Office. I will be sending an email, showing exactly how any package and mail needs to be addressed. If it is not addressed this way, they will NOT receive the item and it will end up in Never Never land. I know, I've already addressed a package the wrong way. Due to privacy reasons, I am not going to publish their actual address on this website! I will email everyone the actual mailing address. If you have any questions - call me. |
