Description
USPS Ship leverages upgrades to existing Mail Processing Equipment (MPE) to provide detailed package attributes and the ability to price each package individually. This eliminates manual sampling of packages and other manual processes which expedites processing.
Integration with Informed Visibility® Mail Tracking & Reporting (IV®-MTR) provides enhanced reporting capability utilizing package attributes captured through process.
USPS Ship utilizes the Postal Service’s payment processing platform Enterprise Payment System. An Enterprise Payment Account (EPA) is required for mailers enrolled in Package Platform.

USPS Returns
USPS has developed a new verification and payment method for Merchandise Returns Services (MRS) USPS and Scan Based Payment (SBP) customers, called USPS Returns. The current MRS process pose challenges such as reliance on sampling, lack of package-level pricing details, lack of visibility when a returned package travels through the mail stream, and packages held at postage due units before being returned to traditional verification customers. While SBP has limited capabilities for single-piece attribute-based pricing.
Automated Package Verification (APV) System
The purpose of the APV System is to support recovery of postage discrepancies in an automated fashion, and in a way that protects the customer relationship.
