Automated Postal Service Machine

Applying to College

<p>Does anyone know if the APS machines in post offices (which are available even when the post offic is closed (the equivalent of a bank’s ATM machine) really work and if colleges honor it’s date?</p>

<p>*FYI the APS machine prints out stamps with the date of purchase on it. The lady at the post office said that a new stamp is NOT stamped over that date and the date on the stamp is the postmark date. It seems kind of too good to be true? I need to know for the supplement forms! (post offices closed at noon today =/ ).</p>

<p>If you mail the letter/package immediately (same day that postage is purchased), then the postal worker is probably telling the truth. </p>

<p>If you wait a week to actually mail the letter/package, the post office may restamp your mail. So, you still want to mail your stuff the same day that you actually purchase the postage.</p>

<p>actually my friend, whose father has one of these machines in his office, thinks that a new date is NOT stamped. It is a sexy, beautiful machine :wink: good luck too all!</p>
