KNOW WHEN TO HOLD ’EM
“Hold for pickup” endorsement launches today
Need to pick up a new computer over the weekend? Thanks to a new USPS endorsement called “Hold For Pickup,” you’ll be able to do just that at a nearby Post Office.
The new “Hold For Pickup” endorsement. Shippers will use it when sending bulky and high-value goods they don’t want left at the door.
Dell, Inc., one of the world’s largest direct-to-consumer shippers, will be offering free shipping now through the holiday season for customers who would prefer to pick up their merchandise at a local Post Office. Packages with the “Hold For Pickup” endorsement are drop shipped to a designated postal facility. The shipper is responsible for notifying the customer that the package has arrived and is available for pickup at that location.
“Dell is one of the world’s largest parcel shippers and shipped millions of parcels last year with one of our competitors,” says Package Services Manager Jim Cochrane. “Dell is a market leader and this offering will open other doors and opportunities.”
Offered initially with Parcel Select service, “Hold For Pickup” is designed to meet the unique needs of shippers of bulky and high-value goods who don’t want their merchandise left at the customer’s door. The endorsement will be available on other classes of mail in the future.
