An alternative addressing format used when delivery of identical mail is requested to every customer on a rural route or highway contract route, or to all Post Office Box customers at a Post Office without city carrier service. Instead of listing the addressee’s name and address, the mailer may use “Postal Customer.” The format may also be used for certain types of mailpieces on a city route and to Post Office Boxes in offices with city delivery service when a complete distribution is made to each active residential delivery or each active delivery on the route or to the box section. Government agencies may also use this format for official mail sent to all stops on city routes and Post Office Boxes at Post Offices with city delivery service. In such cases, these formats may be used: “Postal Customer,” “Residential Customer,” and “Business Customer,” depending on the coverage type requested.
