FMCA's mail forwarding service

FMCA members who plan to be on the road for an extended period of time (two months or longer) need not worry about missing their important mail, thanks to the association’s mail forwarding service. FMCAers who take advan-tage of this useful member benefit receive their mail on a weekly basis while they are on the road.

Members who wish to utilize this service must submit an enrollment form (available from the FMCA national office or on FMCA.com, along with a complete list of procedures for mail forwarding participants) and establish a $50 deposit in a postage account with FMCA. This deposit may be paid by American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or VISA.

When the balance in a participant’s postage account falls to approximately $15, the member’s credit card will be charged the amount needed to bring the deposit up to $50.

The United States Postal Service has determined that FMCA’s mail forwarding service operates as a commercial mail receiving agency (CMRA) by accepting members’ mail from the Postal Service and forwarding it to another address. Therefore, all mail forwarding participants must complete and submit Postal Service Form 1583, Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent (available from the FMCA national office or online at FMCA.com).

Members enrolling in the program must allow a processing period of two weeks from the date that their enrollment form is received by the national office.

Mail should be addressed as follows:

MEMBER’S FULL NAME
PMB (insert membership number)
3590 Round Bottom Road
Cincinnati, OH 45244-3026

FMCA’s mail forwarding service is applicable to all types of mail (except bulk rate catalogs), i.e. letters, magazines, and packages; however, mail forwarding personnel bundle all mail and forward it via First Class mail only. All Second and Third Class mail will be forwarded via First Class unless participants request that it be discarded.

Unless a member requests otherwise, the address for delivery of his or her Family Motor Coaching magazine will automatically be changed to the mail forwarding address, and First Class postage for forwarding the magazine will be charged to the participant’s account.

Upon terminating the mail forwarding service, the member must allow six weeks for the change of address for his or her FMC magazine to take effect.

Mail forwarding participants may contact the mail forwarding department by calling toll-free (800) 448-1212, Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. This number must be used to reach the mail forwarding department of FMCA when calling to report a change of address or to inquire about this service.
