Chance To Air Gripes Postal Service Better A nationwide Consumer Service Program designed lo improve and broaden the quality of mail service was announced by Postmaster Joseph D. Carver. Beginning October I, the U.S. Postal Service will introduce a program at the Raeford Post Office and other offices across the nation to encourage mail users to register problems they may have with their mail service. At the core of the program is a consumer service card, through which problems are identified and which postal managers attempt to expeditiously resolve. The Consumer Service Program reflects Postmaster General Benjamin F. Bailar's determination that mail services to the public will be "friendly, courteous and efficient, as well as speedy and reliable." "Good service is a far broader concept titan just fast mail handling, as important as that is," the Postmaster General says. "It is also built on employee courtesy, our responsiveness to customer needs, the sympathy and understanding we bring to your own expectations of what good postal service is all about." Postmaster Carver urged customers in Raeford to bring their inquiries and complaints to the attention of postal managers. And if people feel their problems have not been properly handled, the Postmaster said, they should see him personally. To make it easier for a customer to make a suggestion or complaint about postal service, the new consumer service card will be available from letter carriers and at post offices. According to Postmaster Carver, the card i> two postal cards with carbon paper between therti. "One copy goes to me or a supervisor so work can begin on the problem," he said, "The other goes to Postal Service Headquarters in Wuhington for cataloging and analyst. The cards will help management spot problem areas and trends and take corrective action if necessary." The Consumer Service Program was tested earlier this year in Illinois, Massachusetts, Arizona and Rhode Island. Postal Customers in the test found the cards easy to complete and most complaints were resolved to the customer's satisfaction. The card should take no more than two minutes to fill out. The postmaster also said he and his staff are willing to discuss any problems, including lack of courtesy, irregularities in deliveries or collections, collection box convenience and postal office hours. "We want you to come to us with your problems," concluded Postmaster Carver, "The whole point of this service program is to bring your problems and gripes out into the open where wc can attempt th resolve them."
