A method that enables a recipient to inform a carrier of the manner in which the recipient would like mail that is transported in trays or tubs delivered. The recipient is then able to inform a post or courier e.g., Federal Express.RTM., Airborne.RTM., United Parcel Service.RTM., DHL.RTM., etc., of the manner in which the recipient would like the mail delivered. The post and courier hereinafter will be referred to as "carrier". For instance, the recipient may want the mail physically delivered to their house faster or slower, or the mail physically redirected to the recipient's temporary address, or physically delivered to the recipient's agent, or physically delivered to the recipient's attorney, or physically returned to the mailer, or have the carrier open the physical mail and have the carrier email or fax the contents of the mailpiece to the recipient and/or parties designated by the recipient.
