6-1.2 Mailer Responsibilities With Destination Delivery Unit Shipments

Mailers must consult the Drop Shipment Product to determine facility conditions for delivering DDU shipments (see DMM 705.8.21). In addition to the requirements in 6-1.1, when delivering a drop shipment to a delivery unit, the driver is responsible for the following:

  1. Unloading the vehicle without Postal Service assistance.
  2. Separating the mailing by 5-digit or approved 5-digit scheme, when requested.
  3. Unstacking pallets if the office accepts pallets. If the office cannot handle pallets, the driver must unload the mail into a container specified by the delivery unit.
