Post office prepared for rush
By Amy Lenzen
Although the post office will continue
to accept packages for Christmas delivery
at any time, persons are urged to mail par
cels as soon as possible to be assured of
their delivery before Christmas, according
to the post office.
Jim Patterson, manager of mail classifi
cation and services said there are no dead
lines per se and "common sense should
dictate" when packages are sent. People
should consider that those parcels which
must go across the country will take con
siderably longer to get there then those
mailed across town.
Patterson urged persons to check and re
check the addresses they write on letters,
cards and parcels. He said it is common for
people to accidently put another city's
address with a Lincoln zip code or a
Lincoln address on a letter to someone in
San Francisco, for example.
A precaution which can be taken to
avoid misdelivery of parcels is to include a
sheet of paper in all parcels listing the
address of the person the parcel is sent to
and the return address. In this case, if the
label falls off the package the postal service
can open the package and send to where it
should go.
Patterson also encouraged persons to
properly package their parcels. Articles
should be packed firmly so they will not
bounce around inside the page and so the
package will not come open. He said the
use of reinforced tape around the parcel is
especially good.
Patterson said people seem to be mailing
their packages earlier this year. And al
though Christmas mail about doubles at
Christmas the post office should be able to
handle the rush.
"Each year we are geared up better and
better. We are delivering more mail accord
ing to our standards," he said.
Helping in this regard is further mech
anization, which he said alleviates a lot of
congestion. Instead of extending man
hours they will just extend the time the
machine is in operation.
Patterson said the post office will hire
some additional help to help those mail
carriers in the city who have heavy mail
routes. Because the post office does not
like to carry mail over undelivered from
one day until the next, carriers are added
whenever and wherever needed.
This is in contrast to the past when the
post office hired as many as 100 extra persons.
