Postal 473 Part B - Certified Mail Receipt

Question 1

Which of the following would NOT be an appropriate entry for Box 8?

Accepted Answer

4/16/2008

Answer

Box 8 is designated for the addressee's name and address, providing the necessary delivery information. A date like '4/16/2008' is not an appropriate entry for this field, which requires identifying details of the recipient's location, not a timestamp.

Question 2

Where would the customer sending the certified mail sign the form?

Accepted Answer

No signature is required

Answer

For certified mail, the sender typically does not sign the certified mail form (e.g., PS Form 3800). The form is primarily for tracking and proof of mailing, and the recipient's signature is obtained upon delivery to confirm receipt, not the sender's.

Question 3

The customer pays a total of $12.69 for their certified mail delivery. Where would this amount be indicated?

Accepted Answer

Box 5

Answer

For certified mail, Box 5 is typically where the total postage and fees paid by the customer for the certified mail service are recorded. This includes the certified mail fee and any other applicable postage, providing a record of the cost.

Question 4

Which box should NOT be completed by the customer?

Accepted Answer

Box 6

Answer

Box 6 on a certified mail form (like PS Form 3800) is usually reserved for the article number, which is a unique tracking number assigned by the postal service. This box is typically completed by the postal employee, not the customer, to ensure accurate tracking.

Question 5

In which box would “13088” be an acceptable entry?

Accepted Answer

Box 9

Answer

Box 9 on a certified mail form is specifically designated for the recipient's address, including their city, state, and ZIP code. Since '13088' is a ZIP code, it would be an acceptable and necessary entry in Box 9 to ensure proper delivery of the mail. This box helps the Postal Service route the item to the correct geographical area.
