Standard Mail orders will be charged $1.14 by the USPS for each piece of returned mail. Chapters will also be responsible for any additional shipping costs incurred on bulk-shipped items that are returned to sender or require address corrections due to incomplete address entry at time of order. Chapters opting to send invitations via First Class will not incur a fee for returned pieces.

MAILING TO INTERNATIONAL ADDRESSES Fulfillment does allow you to mail to both international and APO/FPO addresses! To do so, the addresses must be formatted correctly in your data file: For international addresses: The appropriate two-character Country Code needs to be placed in the State field of the data file. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/iso_3166-1_alpha-2 for a full list of two-character Country Codes. A value must be placed in the Zip field. If a Postal Code for a particular international address is not available, then just place the two-character Country Code in the Zip field as well. For APO/FPO addresses: Follow the format examples posted here: https://www.usps.com/ship/apo-fpo-guidelines.htm. Full name must be included: rank should be included with the first name in the First Name field of the data file. Unit information should be entered under the Address 1 field. The correct designation of APO or FPO should be entered in the City field. The correct designation AP or AE or AA should be entered in the State field.

UPLOADING YOUR ADDRESS LIST If you use the provided Excel template, you should see a message under Mailing Info that says NAME OF FILE uploaded!

USING YOUR OWN TEMPLATE If you do not use the provided Excel template OR if any of the field names in your Address List do not match those in the Excel template, then the system needs you to indicate what each of your columns represents. After you click Upload & Add, the system will display the first five records of your data at the bottom of the page. Above those five records, in each of the columns, your field names will be displayed in bold. There will also be a dropdown in each column. If the system can tell what a particular field is, the dropdown for that field will be already be filled in. Otherwise, you ll need to select a value in the dropdowns one for each of the required fields: Fname (represents First Name) Lname (represents Last Name) Address (represents Address1, the first address line) Address2 (represents Address2, the second address line) City State Zip

USING YOUR OWN TEMPLATE (CONT.) The red message above the five records will indicate which required fields you ll need to identify. (NOTE: the arrow and text at the bottom of the picture below were added only for illustration purposes you will not see this on the site!) Once you ve selected all of the required fields from the appropriate dropdowns, click Finish Data Upload to complete the upload of your Address List. If there are issues with the way you identified the required fields, you should get a pop-up error message. HINT: When you review your proof, the system uses the first record in your Address List to populate the mailing address and Salutation Dear NAME. You can look at how the Mailing Address (right below the PKP logo) is displayed and should very quickly know if you didn t identify your fields correctly. If so, just click <<BACK and you can Upload & Add the file again and identify the fields correctly.

HOW TO PREVIEW THE INVITATION LETTER Once you have uploaded your Address List and completed all the required fields on the Kit Info page, click PREVIEW to view an instant proof of the Invitation Letter with all of the customized information (including the President s Letter, if you uploaded one). Review the proof carefully. You have three options at this point: 1. If you see any issues, you can click <<BACK to make any changes. 2.
