Can you change priority mail package in transit
Yes, it is possible to change the priority of a package in transit with the United States Postal Service (USPS). However, the process and options available depend on the specific circumstances and the type of service used. Here are some general guidelines:
- Priority Mail: If you have a Priority Mail package in transit and want to upgrade or downgrade the service, you can contact the USPS Customer Service department and request a change. They may be able to accommodate the change, but it's not guaranteed. You'll need to provide the tracking number and the new service level you want to apply.
- Priority Mail Express: If you have a Priority Mail Express package in transit and want to upgrade or downgrade the service, you can contact the USPS Customer Service department and request a change. They may be able to accommodate the change, but it's not guaranteed. You'll need to provide the tracking number and the new service level you want to apply.
- Regional Rate Boxes: If you have a Regional Rate Box in transit and want to upgrade or downgrade the service, you can contact the USPS Customer Service department and request a change. They may be able to accommodate the change, but it's not guaranteed. You'll need to provide the tracking number and the new service level you want to apply.
- Special Handling: If you have a package with special handling requirements (e.g., signature required, adult signature required, etc.) and want to change the handling requirements, you can contact the USPS Customer Service department and request a change. They may be able to accommodate the change, but it's not guaranteed. You'll need to provide the tracking number and the new handling requirements you want to apply.
Important notes:
- Changing the priority of a package in transit may not always be possible, especially if the package has already been processed and is in transit.
- If the package is already in transit, the USPS may not be able to make changes to the service level or handling requirements.
- If you want to change the service level or handling requirements, you'll need to contact the USPS Customer Service department and provide the tracking number and the new service level or handling requirements you want to apply.
- Keep in mind that changing the priority of a package in transit may result in additional fees or changes to the delivery date.
It's always best to contact the USPS Customer Service department directly to determine if it's possible to change the priority of your package in transit and to discuss any potential fees or changes to the delivery date.
