HOW TO GET A 
NORTH POLE CANCELLATION 

  • Purchase the stamps at any post office

  • Address the envelopes (to yourself or others)

After applying the postmark, the Postal Service will return the envelopes through the mail.  Although the Post Office provides this canceling service year round, they advise that you ship your items to arrive in Alaska by Thanksgiving.  Given the current world circumstances, even priority mail routinely takes 15 days to work its way to and from Alaska.
