Redelivery of Parcels
Except as provided in 322.312a, make a
second attempt only if requested by
the addressee. If the redelivery
request is made using Form 3849, take the
form back to the office and give it to
the accountable mail clerk. The carrier
will receive the parcel from the
accountable mail clerk on the day the
addressee requested redelivery. If
delivery is not made on the second
attempt and the addressee did not
authorize the parcel to be left, leave Form
3849, with the Final Notice
block checked. Endorse the parcel to show a final
notice was left and return the parcel
to the designated place for holding
undelivered parcels.

Description
Delivery of mail on park and loop
routes is basically the same as for foot
routes with relays. The vehicle is used
as a movable relay box from which the
carrier withdraws a substantial amount
of mail, placing the mail into his
satchel before beginning the route.
Delivery is then made to one side of the
street up to a certain location, and
then on the other side of the street
(looping) back to the vehicle for
additional relays, parcel post delivery and/or
moves to the other park points.

Route patterns are set up to provide

need for a vehicle move. Many
