What happens if my card balance isn't enough?
We accept any personal credit card or debit card to pay the remaining balance on your order. However, you'll still need to provide your Uniform Allowance Purchase Card (UAPC) during checkout. The USPS Uniform Program mandates that all officially licensed postal uniform vendors (of which PostalVendor.com is, of course) identify eligible postal employees by their valid UAPCs. In this case, if you purchase your postal uniforms with a personal card, we'll ask for a photo of your postal employee ID.
