Need help mailing or shipping your holiday packages? Today, postal representatives will demonstrate how easy it is to mail or ship letters and packages by using usps.com or the Automated Postal Center (APC). The demonstration is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the outer lobby at the Buffalo Grove Post Office, 255 N. Buffalo Grove Road.
Using the Postal Service’s website, usps.com, customers can ship packages from their home or office. With a computer and Internet access to usps.com, there’s a Post Office at your fingertips at all times. The Postal Service offers free package pickup from your address the next business day.
The APC is an ATM-like kiosk that accepts credit or debit cards and can handle 80 percent of retail counter transactions, including buying stamps, weighing packages and buying postage for Express and Priority Mail shipments, and First-Class and Parcel Post mailings.
“We know this is a busy time of year for our customers,” said Buffalo Grove Postmaster Adela Villalobos. “That’s why we’re here to help make their holiday mailing and shipping easy.”
Americans will mail close to 16 billion cards, letter and packages this holiday season. The busiest mailing day is expected on Dec. 20 and the busiest delivery day is Dec. 22. Postal Service website visits are expected to grow to 1.7 million, up from the usual 1.3 million.
