Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems that allow a sender (12) of a mail piece (14) to easily specify delivery instructions and/or services for the mail piece and that allows mail processing systems to identify and account for the specified delivery instructions and/or services without the need for any pre-sorting or input of information prior to processing the mail piece. The sender (12) of the mail piece provides a marking (16) on the mail piece representing instructions desired for delivering the mail piece. A mail processing system (20) utilized to process the mail piece (14) reads the marking (16) provided on the mail piece, and based on the type/color of the marking, interprets the delivery instructions requested by the sender (12). The mail processing system (20) processes the mail piece according to the instructions requested by the sender (12) based on the marking provided on the mail piece by the sender (12).
