Confirmation of Receipt This is no longer a good idea. In the past we have suggested that you can get a confirmation of receipt from the base. In the past that was possible. With the success of our program, a lot of the bases no longer have the volunteers available to do this. What this means is that you may request confirmation of receipt of your shipments from your "adopted" base, but they may not have the ability to send the reply. The persons at the base handling the coupons are volunteers and most bases operate short of volunteers most of the time. They will acknowledge your shipment as time and available volunteers allow. More and more, there is not enough time to do this. You can try to request one, but... To receive this confirmation, please include a self-addressed, postage-paid postcard with your shipments. The card should be in an envelope attached/taped to the outside of the shipment, as they may get missed if inside with the coupons. Mark the outside of the envelope with "Pre-posted return reply enclosed." Again, they may not have the volunteers available to return the card. This postcard should contain a short message, such as "Enclosed please find a donation of coupons from (your name/organization). Please return this postage-paid postcard when this shipment arrives." The staff at these bases will try very hard to comply with your requests, but again please remember their work is done with volunteers, which allows limited time and minimal staff. Please be patient. |
