2008, and offices should recycle the old forms.
The
following changes were made to PS Form 3849:

from the vice presidents of Delivery and Retail Operations. | Removed
Recorded Delivery service. This service is no
longer available for international shipments. | Added

services available by the Postal Service. | Changed
date of the form to May 2008. | Added
an option for customers to request redelivery online
at www.usps.com/redelivery
in block #3 on the reverse side of form (not shown). | |
