If a delivery is attempted for a restrictive delivery item, what should be left?

When a delivery is attempted for a restrictive delivery item, leaving Form PS 3849 is the appropriate action. This form, also known as the "Delivery Notice," serves as an official notification to the recipient that the postal worker attempted to deliver the package but could not due to the restrictions associated with it. The recipient will need this form to understand that their item requires special handling or may need their attention to complete the delivery process.

Form PS 3849 provides critical information, including instructions on how the recipient can retrieve their item, whether it can be picked up at the post office or requires a reschedule for delivery. It ensures that the necessary details regarding the attempt and next steps are clearly communicated.

In contrast, a sticker with delivery information may not provide the same level of detail or official instruction regarding restrictive items, while stating that no action is needed does not fulfill postal policy guidelines for such deliveries. Merely leaving a notification card does not adequately convey all necessary information for the recipient to take action regarding their restrictive delivery item. Thus, Form PS 3849 is the most appropriate choice in this scenario.
