3-4.2 Appointment ID

FAST generates an Appointment ID for every confirmed appointment entered into the system. A mailer making an electronic appointment is provided the Appointment ID immediately upon completing the appointment process. A mailer making a telephone request for an appointment is notified of the Appointment ID by the drop shipment appointment coordinator. Mailers print the Appointment ID on PS Form 8125 in the top right block (“Drop Ship Appointment Number”). Mailers who fail to provide a drop ship appointment number risk not having the load accepted or confirmed as an arrival.
