REMINDER
Undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) Bound Printed Matter with no ancillary service endorsement is disposed of at
the delivery unit. Unendorsed pieces should not be forwarded, returned, or sent to the mail recovery centers. This
change was part of the R2000-1 Omnibus Rate Case implemented on January 7, 2001, and was developed after
extensive talks with Bound Printed Matter mailers.
UAA unendorsed Bound Printed Matter with any special
service is treated as if the piece is endorsed "Forwarding
Service Requested."
Some employees may be hesitant to dispose of a mailpiece, such as a book, that appears to have value. Be assured that mailers use the ancillary service endorsement
that best suits their business. When mailers choose not to
use an ancillary service endorsement, they are making a
business decision that they do not want their mailpieces
forwarded or returned to them. In many cases, it is less expensive to dispose of an item than it is for the mailer to process and re-mail the returned piece.
Treatment of unendorsed Bound Printed Matter is the
same regardless of the weight of the piece. The 1-pound
minimum weight requirement for Bound Printed Matter was
removed on January 7, 2001, but that has no impact on
how UAA pieces are treated.
In addition, some employees are confused by the rate
marking "PRSRT STD" on pieces of Bound Printed Matter.
"Presorted Standard" (or "PRSRT STD") was formerly a
correct rate marking for presorted Bound Printed Matter.
Mailers had until January 1, 2002, to discontinue using it.
The correct rate marking for presorted Bound Printed Matter is "Presorted" or "PRSRT."
Bound Printed Matter with an ancillary service endorsement is treated the same as other Package Services mail.
See Domestic Mail Manual F010.5.4 or Quick Service
Guide 015. Employees with additional questions about ancillary service endorsements should contact their district
manager of business mail entry.
