WHAT DOES SPECIAL HANDLING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

special handling

Special handling

Special handling originated as a service that secured accelerated processing of fourth class mail, so that it would be delivered as promptly as first-class material. The United States Post Office introduced this service in 1925, and provided a 25¢ Special Handling stamp for it. Three additional U. S. Special Handling stamps had appeared by 1928. The three lower denominations were reissued in dry printings in 1955. Today the USPS provides this expedited delivery of packages by other means: through first class parcel service and priority mail. Special handling still exists, but is now more restrictively defined: it "provides preferential handling, but not preferential delivery, to the extent practicable in dispatch and transportation." This service is primarily recommended for the delivery of live poultry, bees and similar cargo versus the delivery of non-living goods. Postal employees will take care to ensure that the special handling package is not crushed or handled roughly during delivery.

Definition of special handling in the English dictionary
