As we continue to experience delays with the delivery of first-class mail and with forthcoming October 1 USPS adjustments of first-class service standards, below are some suggestions to ensure timely delivery or receipt of out-bound mail:

• Send items via Priority Mail, which ensures delivery within 1 to 2 business days.
• Add a tracking number to your first-class mail and track the delivery of your item by alerting Delivery Services of this request.
• Send item via Certified Mail, which captures signature of recipient. Please check with Delivery Services on this option.

For first-class mail sent to you or your areas, consider asking the sender to use one of the following methods:

• Send items via Priority Mail, which ensures delivery within 1 to 2 business days.
• Add a tracking number to the first-class mail and track the delivery of the item.
• Send item via Certified Mail, which captures signature of recipient.
