National Day of Observance for Former President Jimmy Carter on January 9th.

Important Announcement:

Mail services will halt on Thursday, January 9, 2025, to honor former President Jimmy Carter. LetterStream will still be open and processing mail behind the scenes.

In a heartfelt tribute to the life and legacy of former President Jimmy Carter, a National Day of Observance has been declared for Thursday, January 9, 2025, according to President Biden’s Proclamation. The day will honor the remarkable contributions of this beloved leader, pausing regular operations across various sectors—including the United States Postal Service.

Here’s what you need to know about how this observance impacts mailing services:

No Regular Mail or Retail Services

On January 9, the Postal Service will temporarily halt regular mail deliveries, retail operations, and administrative office activities. This pause allows everyone, including Postal Service employees, to reflect on and honor President Carter’s legacy.

“Out of respect for the 39th President of the United States and to honor his vast contributions to our country during his lifetime, and consistent with the Presidential Proclamation, the United States Postal Service will suspend regular mail deliveries, retail services and administrative office activity on Jan 9,” said Tiffany Rowland, Strategic communications specialist with the U.S. Postal Service, according to MSN.

What Happens to Commercial Mail?

Commercial mailers, don’t fret! While regular deliveries take a break, the Postal Service will continue accepting and processing mail volume at its processing facilities. If you’re a business with time-sensitive needs, this ensures your mail is still moving behind the scenes.

Limited Package Delivery

Packages are a priority! Limited package delivery services will be active on January 9 to ensure smooth operations and avoid delays that could disrupt customers or business partners. The Postal Service is balancing respect for the observance with its commitment to customer service.

A Nationwide Pause

This observance impacts all Postal Service facilities, from headquarters in Washington, DC, to area and district offices. The entire organization is coming together to honor the day appropriately.

Back to Business on Friday, January 10th

Regular operations for the USPS will resume on Friday, January 10, 2025.

What Does This Mean for LetterStream Customers?

Here at LetterStream, we’ve got your back no matter what! While the Postal Service takes a well-deserved pause, our services remain available to help you navigate any mailing challenges. Whether you need to send critical business mail, important documents, or time-sensitive notices, we’ll be working to ensure everything is prepared and sent off for when regular mail operations resume.

Our secure, efficient online platform makes it easy to handle your mailing needs—even during a national observance. You can upload jobs, track progress, and stay in control of your mail without skipping a beat. With LetterStream, mailing stress is always off the table.

A Day of Remembrance

While the observance means a brief pause in some services, it’s a meaningful opportunity to reflect on President Carter’s extraordinary life and the indelible mark he left on our nation. Let’s take this moment to remember a leader who inspired change, championed humanitarian causes, and led with compassion.

Season’s Greetings from LetterStream

The Grinch that DID NOT Steal Christmas or New Year’s

The Grinch crept around with his usual flair,

Plotting to ruin the office’s affair.

Invoices, statements—he’d crumple them tight,

No critical mail would escape him tonight!

He laughed as he gathered each envelope near,

“I’ll stop all their mail—it’ll disappear!”

But what he forgot, as he plotted with glee,

Was the speed and precision of LetterStream’s decree.

From the cloud came a hum, a whisper, a cheer,

A mail-saving hero was already here!

With printers aglow and timing so right,

LetterStream handled it all with delight.

“Your mischief is pointless!” they said with a grin,

“We’ve mailed every piece, and the day’s ours to win.

The invoices went, the notices too,

And the Grinch stood there stunned, unsure what to do.”

He scratched his hairy chin and looked rather grim,

“How could they defeat my dastardly whim?”

But then, as he watched all the mail fly away,

He sighed and admitted, “They’ve won this day.”

So if your critical mail feels too big a feat,

Call on LetterStream—they can’t be beat.

They’ll handle your mail, keep the Grinch at bay,

And bring peace to your office each work-filled day!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Entire LetterStream Team!

Coffee Break

The Coffee Break: Recharge, Refocus, and Reclaim Your Day

LetterStream takes the worry out of sending business-critical mailings. In today’s fast-paced business environment, it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of tasks, meetings, and deadlines. However, taking a simple coffee break can do wonders for your productivity, mental health, and overall performance. More than just a chance to enjoy your favorite brew, a coffee break represents an opportunity to pause, recharge, and refocus on what truly matters.

At the same time, adopting efficient systems and processes in your business is crucial for maximizing resources. Tasks like printing and mailing can be deceptively time-consuming and costly, with hidden expenses in materials, equipment, and maintenance—not to mention the time spent resolving inevitable issues. That’s where tools like LetterStream come in. By acting as your virtual print and mailroom, we simplify and streamline these processes, allowing you to focus on what’s most important to your business—or take that well-earned coffee break.

The Science Behind Coffee Breaks

Research supports the idea that breaks, even short ones, can significantly enhance your work performance. A moment to step back from tasks can help clear mental clutter, allowing you to return to work refreshed and focused. Stepping away from a tedious or repetitive task, like managing mailing projects, can provide the mental clarity needed to tackle challenges more effectively.

Whether you’re wrestling with printer issues or calculating postage, these tasks can drain your productivity. That’s why delegating these responsibilities to a trusted partner like LetterStream can make all the difference.

Why Outsourcing Saves Time and Resources

Outsourcing tasks like printing and mailing isn’t just about convenience; it’s a strategic decision to free up your time and business resources. Managing mail projects internally often involves costs you might not immediately consider—such as purchasing and maintaining equipment, buying materials, and allocating staff time to handle the work. When you add the risk of errors or delays, the true cost of doing it yourself becomes even clearer.

Using an experienced vendor like LetterStream ensures these tasks are handled efficiently and accurately. With LetterStream’s user-friendly online platform, you can upload documents, select your mail type, and complete the process in minutes. It’s like having a fully equipped mailroom at your fingertips—accessible from anywhere, at any time. And the best part? The platform itself comes at no additional cost, making it one of the most powerful and affordable tools in your business toolkit.

The Productivity Perks of Stepping Away

Taking a break doesn’t mean slacking off—it’s actually a productivity hack. Here’s why:

• Boosts Creativity: Some of your best ideas emerge when your mind has a chance to rest and reset. A coffee break creates the space for fresh thinking.

• Reduces Stress: A brief pause in your day can help you feel more in control of your workload.

• Enhances Focus: Returning to tasks after a break allows for better concentration and increased efficiency, especially with complex projects like mail campaigns.

By automating and outsourcing repetitive tasks, you can amplify these benefits. LetterStream’s platform is specifically built to reduce the complexity of mailing projects, allowing you to dedicate your time and energy to other pressing business tasks.

Simplifying Mail Projects with Systems and Processes

One of the hallmarks of a successful business is its ability to implement efficient systems and processes. When it comes to mailing, the traditional approach often involves multiple steps—printing, folding, addressing, stamping, and finally getting the mail out the door. These steps not only consume valuable time but also leave room for errors.

LetterStream’s platform is designed to simplify and automate these processes. Acting as your virtual print and mailroom, it combines advanced technology with expert services to make the entire process seamless. Whether you’re sending invoices, marketing materials, or Certified Mail, you can trust that every detail is handled with precision. By delegating this work to a reliable partner, you free yourself and your team to focus on higher-priority tasks.

Maximizing Your Coffee Break

Not sure how to make the most of your coffee break? Here are some ideas:

1. Connect with Colleagues: A quick chat can boost morale and spark collaboration.

2. Get Fresh Air: Take your coffee outside for a change of scenery.

3. Unplug and Relax: Step away from screens and give your eyes a rest.

Focus on What Matters Most

By integrating efficient systems and processes—and partnering with vendors like LetterStream—you’re not just simplifying your workflow. You’re prioritizing your time and well-being, creating space to focus on what truly matters. Whether it’s growing your business, improving team performance, or simply enjoying a moment for yourself, the benefits are clear.

Take the first step toward worry-free mailing today. Visit LetterStream.com and see how we can help you reclaim your time. After all, your coffee break is waiting. ☕

In the end, it’s not just about the mail. It’s about empowering you and your business to thrive, one simplified process at a time.

Canada Post Strike Update

Canada Post will begin accepting International Mail on December 23rd.

NOTICE: Canadian Postal Workers Returned to Work on December 17th

Following a month-long strike, Canadian postal workers returned to their jobs on December 17th under a back-to-work order. While mail operations have resumed, Canada Post has indicated that significant delays may persist as they work through a backlog of mail accumulated during the strike.

Current Update from Canada Post

Canada Post began accepting letters and parcels again two days after workers were ordered back to work. However, Canadians are advised to anticipate delays well into January due to the volume of mail awaiting processing.

According to Canada Post, “mail is being processed on a first-in, first-out basis,” meaning older mail will be delivered before newer submissions. International mail services are also resuming, with Canada Post set to start accepting new international mail on December 23rd. For more details, read the full report on the Calgary Herald website.

What This Means for LetterStream Customers

At LetterStream, we want to reassure you that we are fully operational and ready to assist with your printing and mailing needs. While the Canadian postal system works to resolve its backlog, here’s how we’re supporting you:

1. Mailing Resumes on December 23rd: We will begin sending mail to Canada starting on this date, in alignment with Canada Post’s updated policies.

2. No Disruption to Job Acceptance: We are continuing to accept and process your print and mail orders as usual, ensuring they are submitted to Canada Post for delivery.

3. Monitoring the Situation: Our team is closely monitoring updates from Canada Post and will provide timely information if there are changes that could impact your mailing projects.

How to Plan Your Mailings

Given the potential for delivery delays, we recommend submitting your mailing jobs as soon as possible to ensure they are processed in a timely manner. Our advanced mailing platform and reliable processes ensure that your mail is prepared and submitted without delay, even during periods of postal disruption.

For more updates on the Canadian postal service or assistance with your mailing needs, visit our blog regularly or reach out to our customer support team. At LetterStream, we’re committed to delivering your mail with precision and care—ensuring your peace of mind, even in challenging times.

But let’s not forget—this is also about those little faces lighting up when they unwrap a gift they’ve been dreaming of. Whether it’s a cuddly teddy bear, a set of crayons, Barbie, or that action figure they’ve had their eye on, these presents are so much more than toys. They’re symbols of love, hope, and brighter days ahead.

How to Schedule Mailings With LetterStream

It’s no secret the holiday season is a whirlwind of to-dos, but if you’re a company that sends business-critical mail then here’s one thing you can check off your list early: scheduling your mailings! Whether it’s end-of-year notices, important business documents, or that must-go-out HOA mailing, LetterStream’s scheduling tool lets you set it and forget it. You focus on decking the halls; we’ll focus on getting your mail out on time. After all, that’s what a printing and mailing company should be all about, right?

Why Schedule Your Mailings?

Imagine this: you’ve planned a winter getaway. While you’re sipping hot cocoa by a crackling fire—or enjoying a tasty drink on a tropical beach—an email from LetterStream arrives to confirm that your mailing has just been sent. That means, no stress, no interruptions, and no wondering whether everything went out on time. Wohoo!

Scheduling your mailings doesn’t just bring peace of mind; it’s a productivity game-changer. It allows you to plan ahead, avoid the last-minute holiday rush, and keep your business communications running like clockwork, no matter how hectic life gets. Keep in mind, scheduling a job isn’t just convenient during the holiday season. In fact, it’s awesome all year long for sending out physical mail.

How Does It Work?

Setting up a scheduled mailing with LetterStream is as simple as ordering your favorite holiday latte…peppermint mocha latte, anyone?

Here’s how easy it is:

Once the job is approved and paid for go to My Jobs in the header and choose View My Job List

Next, choose your job and on the right hand side click on EDIT.

A drop-down menu will appear. Choose Change Schedule Date and the date you want your job to be mailed on. Click Submit Change when done.

The scheduled post will then turn to orange and the Job Status will say “Scheduled.”

That’s it! We’ll handle the rest…and yes, it’s that easy!

A Little Holiday Pro Tip

While we’re at here’s a little pro tip for you. The scheduling tool is perfect for ensuring mailings go out on your timeline, but what if you need something to go out faster? That’s where Expedite come in. Whether it’s a last-minute business notice or an urgent document, we can ensure it will go out the same day. However, keep in mind that 99% of all mail goes out by the next business day as it is. So, either way your mailings go out fast! Just one may be a little bit faster than normal.

How to choose Expedite a job:

When you’re done creating your job and you hit Continue to Payment, the next screen will be My Account – Billing Information. There will be a drop-down menu that says “normal processing (included).” Click on the down arrow and you will see the option for “expedited processing (additional fee)” and that will be added to your job.

Easy enough.
