The example below explains the process and calculation of assessments for Payment Errors logged on physical siblings of logical containers. The mailer in the scenario only exceeds the monthly error threshold for Payment Errors on those physical siblings of logical containers. (Payment Errors logged on physical siblings of logical containers are charged the total postage for the logical container it is tied to. The total postage is charged to the first physical sibling container scanned. Any additional scans among other physical siblings will log errors, but will not result in a charge against the mailer)

All physical siblings of Logical Containers 1 and 2 received payment errors; the total postage of Logical Container 1 and 2 will get charged to the first physical sibling of each that was scanned. Prices for Logical Containers 1 and 2 with Payment Errors are $450.00, and $125.00, respectively.
$450.00 + $125.00
