<p>I totally forgot to send in form six of the U PENN application(financial aid application) and all post offices are now closed until Tuesday. I tried Fedex and UPS but they dont do postmarking. I know this is the wrong forum and Im sorry, but im SCREWED if I don't turn this in. What should I do? Do you think faxing the form to them would be ok explaining to them that I will postmark it as soon as the post office is open again?</p>
<p>Look in parent's forum for a message from Xiggi. For less than $4.00, you can go to USPS and print your own label.</p>
<p>I found the suggestion, hope it helps.</p>
<p>"Jokes set aside, allow me to repeat my little strategy for meeting deadlines that requires "postmark" proofs. It is pretty simple and only involves signing up for an online account with the USPS and print your own labels. You could print your label at 1150 and deposit the forms the next business day without causing an uproar. In this case it gives you a good number of meaningful hours. The postmark will be on the package and you have the proof of mailing with the same information. All for $3.85</p>
<p>Also remember that financial aid numbers can be estimated and corrected later. The schools ask for completeness and accuracy and prefer to see corrected information, even if it comes a bit later -in the form of an amendment.</p>
<p>Lastly, as far as mailing deadlines, it is good to remember that the mail won't be processed for several days and that a little delay should not matter at all."</p>
