Did you know?
Members are authorized to ship unaccompanied baggage by parcel post, air mail, military official mail, surface mail or small package service?
What this means to you
Servicemembers can mail items that will be needed immediately upon arrival at his/her next duty station instead of scheduling and waiting for a carrier to pick them up. The weight of these items will be charged against the Household Goods and Unaccompanied Baggage weight allowance of the person who is Permanently Changing Stations.
The key point to remember is that reimbursements are for the amount it would actually cost the government to move these items. The packages’ weight must be listed on the receipt and presented when filing a claim for reimbursement. People who follow these steps tend to have an expedited reimbursement process.
Information is available from local transportation officers. At Fort Belvoir, information is available from JPPSOWA’s Web site, Belvoir.army.mil/jppsowa.
