These are the addresses to write to the following Postmasters. Make sure you have the right amount of postage required to send it to you or others, Whether its a domestic destination (US to US, including territories and Compact of Agreement countries) or an international destination (US to International).
Here are the addresses to write to the certain Postmasters for the offices offering the following postmarks.
The pictoral postmarks are announced in the online Postal Bulletin in the Stamp Services section.
Every year, at the Loveland Colorado post office there is a Valentine’s Day postmark that gets used for that season. It wasn’t announced in the Postal Bulletin, but I am linking here the info from the Chamber of Commerce website from Loveland Colorado of the postmark that is avaliable at the post office and the re-mailing program.
I have never heard of such a thing. Send them my postcards and they will open the envelope, stamp them and send them off??!! Thanks for the information!
Yes you can request any postmark from any post office by writing the postmaster and request they hand cancel the cards or envelope with their stations stamp.
Additional postmarks can be found online in the Postal Bulletin on USPS’s website.
I always write a small note to the Postmaster and request to recieve a hand cancel.
For the most part it is a yearly thing with the Loveland Colorado or the Valentine Texas post office’s doing it.
Check the postal bulletin online in the section that says stamp services. Other post office’s may offer a Valentines mark. We’re early in 2022 so keep checking. Sometimes it’s announced early in the bulletin online
Thank you for the information, @princeofasturias. I had no idea that this was a thing. I sent 2 postcards today to the Romeo, MI station for stamping. One is going to my best friend and the other is going to my daughter. I hope it works.
I hope it works.
