Moving Guide
Don’t miss out on mail; file change of address
The mover’s guide
PROVIDED BY THE POST
OFFICE HAS ALL YOU NEED
Christy Schwerin
for the Emerald
Papers, finals, finding an apart
ment, moving out, moving in:
There are so many things to do at
the end of the year, and the list
gets amplified if you are moving.
In all this chaos, a few things in
evitably get lost. One of them, however,
does not have to be your mail.
Post offices have a mover’s guide
that has step-by-step instructions for
changing your mailing address. In
side is an official mail forwarding,
change-of-address form. This post
card has places to write in new ad
dress information, as well as the date
to start the forwarding and a date to
end if it is temporary. This will then
be mailed to the postmaster in the
district you lived and given to your
carrier, who is responsible for for
warding the mail.
The change of address form through
the post office has some limitations.
First-class mail will be forwarded for
one year, and second-class (maga
zines and newspapers) for two
months, free of charge. No bulk rate
mail, such as advertisements or cata
logs, will be forwarded if it weighs
less than 16 ounces. In addition, no
mail will be forwarded from dorms,
fraternities, sororities or co-ops, said
a clerk at the University Station post
office.
Residence halls provide a change of
address from for all students during the
check-out process and provide for
warding service.
r
Sarah Jacobson, a geology major at
the University, advocates changing
the address for your bills directly
with each company or bank before
you leave. The mover’s guide in
cludes three change-of-address post
cards that are designed to be sent to
businesses. Also, there is usually a
change-of-address form in each bill or
magazine itself. Jacobson contacts the
businesses directly and has never had
a problem receiving important
parcels.
Your University mailing address can
be changed directly through Duck
Web.
“One option for frequent movers is
getting a post office box,” said the
University Station post office clerk.
“It makes sense, and your mail isn’t
bouncing around to different address
es with the possibility of getting
lost.”
