Postal 473 Part B - Authorization Form

Question 1

Which of the following boxes will the customer NOT complete?

Accepted Answer

Box 13

Answer

On many standard postal forms, Box 13 is typically designated for official use by postal employees, such as for a clerk's signature, date stamp, or internal transaction numbers. Customers are generally not required or permitted to complete this specific box. The other boxes listed are usually for customer-provided information like sender/recipient details or item descriptions.

Question 2

The Post Office ZIP code is 13732. Where would the customer indicate this?

Accepted Answer

None of the above

Answer

Customers typically fill in their own return address ZIP code or the recipient's destination ZIP code on postal forms. They would not usually be asked to indicate the Post Office's own ZIP code on a standard mailing or service form. Therefore, none of the provided boxes would be where a customer indicates the Post Office's ZIP code.

Question 3

Which of these would be a correct entry for box 13?

Accepted Answer

4/16/2008

Answer

Box 13 on a USPS Hold Mail form (PS Form 8076) is designated for the 'Date Mail Delivery Resumed.' This box requires a specific date in a standard format, such as 4/16/2008, to indicate when the customer wishes to begin receiving their mail again. Options like a ZIP code, month, or state abbreviation are not appropriate for a date field.

Question 4

Where would the customer sign the form?

Accepted Answer

Box 6

Answer

On a USPS Hold Mail form (PS Form 8076), Box 6 is specifically designated for the 'Customer's Signature.' This is where the individual requesting the mail hold must sign to authorize the service, confirming their request and agreement to the terms. Other boxes are for dates, addresses, or postal employee use.

Question 5

If the customer wanted their mail delivery to be resumed on April 30, 2008, where would they indicate this?

Accepted Answer

Box 4

Answer

On a USPS Hold Mail form (PS Form 8076), Box 4 is specifically labeled 'Date to Resume Delivery.' This is where the customer indicates the exact date they want their mail delivery to restart after the hold period. Entering 'April 30, 2008' in this box clearly communicates their desired resumption date to the Postal Service.
