Today we updated our mailing standards to include the following changes:

New Options for Restricted Delivery and Pickup On Demand Services

We revised various sections to introduce Restricted Delivery with Signature Confirmation™ and Package Pickup and Pickup on Demand. We published this information in the October 30, 2014, Postal Bulletin.

New Priority Mail Window Flat Rate Envelope

We revised 223.1.8.1 to add a Priority Mail® Window Flat Rate Envelope to the suite of Flat Rate Envelopes. We published this information in the October 30, 2014, Postal Bulletin.
