How to Practice Cell Phone Etiquette

without comments

How to Practice Cell Phone Etiquette - wikiHow.

Not specific to mailing, of course, but a great common sense look at how to be courteous while using your cell phone.

Take a look, you may see yourself in some of these situations and not even realize how others may be perceiving you as being rude.  I know I have committed some of these “oops” myself, and will work on being more sensitive to those around me.

USPS TEM Testing for Full-Service Approval

without comments

Several companies that I know of have completed USPS TEM (Test Environment for Mailers) electronic documentation testing for Full-Service, however, none of them have been approved.  After completing the scenarios laid out in the Full Service Checklist up on http://ribbs.usps.gov/ (you’ll never find it there without knowing in advance that it is cryptically filed under Intelligent Mail>>Business Customer Gateway), applicants are then sent to USPS HQ “for final approval”.  So far this has amounted to a sort of limbo status - nobody can advise how long this second level of approval will take, or where an individual applicant currently stands.  After putting in a lot of work to do the testing in a timely manner, it is frustrating to now have to wait for an undetermined amount of time for final approval.

Please feel free to comment and tell us your TEM testing story.  Anybody out there approved for Full Service??
