Postal Service offers new mail-forwarding service to Iowa snowbirds

November 26, 2005 By admin

As cold weather approches, flocks of Iowa residents are preparing to temporarily leave the Hawkeye State for the warmer weather of states like Arizona and Florida. Richard Watkins, spokesman for the U-S Postal Service, says a new sort mail forwarding service is now being offered to snowbirds called Premium Forwarding Service or P-F-S. Watkins says P-F-S is designed to send all mail to a person’s temporary address — first-class mail being the cards, letters and bills, and all second and third-class mail too — catalogs, advertising, newspapers and magazines. He says it’s a service many Iowans might consider — not just snowbirds, but also college students, business travelers and members of the military. Watkins says it gets all of their mail to a temporary address using Priority Mail within two or three days. He says other items, packages and other first-class mail that won’t fit in the P-F-S package, will be rerouted and delivered to the temp address at no additional charge. Watkins says there -is- a charge for P-F-S. You have to go to the post office to sign up. There’s a ten-dollar one-time enrollment charge and the service is ten-dollars a week.
