- Discuss your QBRM needs with a Mailing Requirements Clerk. Contact the Mailing and Shipping Solutions Center (MSSC) by emailing MSSC@usps.gov or calling 877-672-0007 (select option 2 for mailing requirements). Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time (closed federal holidays).
- Complete Part A of PS Form 3615, Mailing Permit Application and Customer Profile (https://about.usps. com/forms/ps3615.pdf), to establish a QBRM permit. Then fill out section 1 of PS Form 6805, BRM/QBRM Application for ZIP+4 Code Assignment/ Validation and QBRM Approval (https://about.usps.com/forms/ps6805.pdf), to request a unique ZIP+4 for the QBRM address for each price category (letters/postcard). Both forms must be submitted via email to the MSSC – Mailing Requirements Department at MSSC@usps.gov for processing.
- 3. Set up a Mailer ID (MID) by visiting https://gateway.usps.com/eAdmin/view/signin and creating a Business Customer Gateway (BCG) account.
