Hard Copy Postage Statement Processing
From a USPS Webinar today (and the DMMAdvisory earlier this week), there was a slide specific to the timing issue on compliance with the new USPS Streamlining hard copy postage statement processing push:
“Beginning on March 15 (Monday), the USPS will no longer complete the “USPS Only” section or round-stamp hard copy postage statements submitted to an acceptance until that is equipped with PostalOne!. This includes the block titled “Round Stamp (Required) Date Mail Released”.
We realize that some mailers may not have completed their conversion to electronic postage statements. To help ease this transition, the Postal Service will continue to accept hard copy postage statements until June 13, 2010, IF mailers provide the following:
>A written request to the Postmaster or, the manager of the Business Mail Entry Unit for an exception
>Completed Block 2 (Mailing Agent) on all postage statements”
Not much time to get your extension requests in before Monday.
The webinar will repeat again this afternoon, as well as two sessions scheduled for tomorrow. For details, times, and access to these webinars, go to the RIBBS Latest News page here
