Retail
Spring begins today Look around your Post OfficeTM. Are green ogres looking
back at you from your point-of-purchase (POP) signage? If
they aren't, now is the time for some spring cleaning. April 1
marks the start of the spring 2004 retail drive period, which
runs through June 30. Be sure to take down your old New
Year POP and put up the new spring messaging.
Retail employee information kits containing the Retail
Employee Calendar and Ready, Set, Retail Manager's Guide
have been distributed to all retail units. So have the spring
POP kits containing planograms that tell you where to place
signs in your particular office.
The instore messaging for spring is aimed at residential/
household customers. Because of a corporate partnership
with DreamWorks, many POP elements will feature
characters from the movie Shrek 2. Priority Mail® bundles
and Express Mail® service will be featured on key signage.
And there's more to come. New continuity menu boards will
be sent in separate POP kits. Expect them to arrive in late
May or early June.
What goes up ... If it's old POP signage, it must come down. The timing of
retail drive periods is not an arbitrary decision. Many factors
are involved, including the primary goal of providing a
consistent and uniform message about our products and
services to our customers across America. Handmade signs
detract from this goal. So do signs that are left hanging well
after the drive period for which they were intended has
ended. In many cases, the POP materials include images of
people or characters that require a talent fee for their usage.
These fees are for specific time periods. If you don't take the
signs down when you're supposed to, the Postal ServiceTM
could be subject to additional fees.
Don't get emotionally attached to your signs. There are
costs to the Postal Service for keeping them up past their
expiration dates. Let your planogram show you the proper
placement of POP elements.
eBay posters reminder Small businesses have about 2 more weeks to enter the
eBay contest "Dream big. Save big." If your office currently
is displaying a poster about this promotion, be sure to take it
down April 16.
APCs A new high-tech machine is coming to some Post Office
lobbies this month. It's the Automated Postal Center -
APC. This self-service kiosk enables customers to weigh
and mail packages at their convenience rather than just
during our business hours. It extends quick, easy, and
convenient access to postal products and services when
and where customers want it. The Postal Service will begin
installing APCs in select Post Offices this month.
Click-N-Ship Labels Boost your revenue with Click-N-Ship® labels. You can
order them for resale through eBuy - look in the Retail
Merchandise Center catalog under "Other Retail Products."
Click-N-Ship labels can be used for Priority Mail or Express
Mail items, domestic shipping only. They work with laser or
inkjet printers, but only with PCs. If customers have more
questions about the labels, refer them to Label Universe's
Customer Support Center at support@labeluniverse.com or
800-861-8680.
Postage meters As the Postal Service moves toward the highest level of
security for postage meters, there has been a change in the
schedule for final placement of phase IV postage meters.
This change is necessary in order to allow our customers to
make informed decisions about investing in newer
technology. Phase IV postage meters use letterpress
printing technology and are reset remotely through the
Computerized Meter Resetting System (CMRS). The Postal
Service is extending the date for new customer placement
of phase IV meters to Dec. 31, 2004 (the date had been
June 30, 2004). However, the final date for removal of these
meters from the market remains Dec. 31, 2008.
Manufacturers who place phase IV CMRS letterpress
meters must notify customers in writing about this removal
date.
This change in no way affects the placement or removal of
phase III meters. Phase III meters, with a few exceptions,
have not been placed with customers since Dec. 31, 2002,
and must be removed from the market by Dec. 31, 2006.
Refer customers with questions to 703-292-3691 for more
information.

Coaches Corner
This month's edition has information about military
mail addressing, Mili-Pac envelopes, and product
translation aids.
Sales and services associates can assist customers
by letting them know that the name of a foreign country is
not necessary when addressing Air/Army Post Office
(APO) and Fleet Post Office (FPO) military mail. The last
line of the address for overseas military personnel,
dependants, and U.S. civilians should include the APO
or FPO, the armed forces identifier of "AA," "AE" or "AP",
and the ZIP CodeTM. For example:
CAPTAIN JOHN Q PUBLIC
123RD AIR LIFT WING
APO AE 12345-6789
If the country is listed in the last line of the address on
a mailpiece addressed to an APO or FPO, advise the
customer that including the country name may delay
delivery of the mailpiece because it will be routed via the
international mail system and not the military mail
system.
Mili-Pac Priority Packaging
Working with the Military Postal Service Agency to
provide support to U.S. armed forces, the Postal
ServiceTM introduced a new Priority Mail® packaging item
- Military Mail Mili-Pac.
Available at Army PX and Air Force BX locations, the
free Tyvek envelopes feature Old Glory on one side and
contain fields for address information on the other. This
template ensures address accuracy for military mail and
helps to prevent delays and undeliverables.
The address fields printed on the envelope
specifically reinforce the message that the country name
should not be included when addressing military mail.
Navy and Marine Corps PX locations are being
considered for additional distribution of the Mili-Pac
envelopes.
Product Translation Aids
Diversity Development on its new Multicultural
Outreach Web page provides translation aids for special
services and product fact sheets for selected Postal
Service products in five languages - Spanish, Chinese,
Vietnamese, French, and Russian. These tools provide
our non-English speaking customers with a brief
description of products and services offered by the
Postal Service, along with step-by-step instructions on
how to use special service forms.
The site's translation aids and fact sheets are easy to
use and can be printed locally by postmasters and
station managers. Access the Multicultural Outreach site
from the Postal Service intranet Blue page. Look under
the Headquarters heading for Human Resources, then
click on Diversity Development.

Supply Management
Postal Service Partnerships - Advance Lifts, Inc., and Southworth Products
Corporation
Background
In December 2003, the Postal ServiceTM formed strategic partnerships with two industrial equipment suppliers:
• Advance Lifts, Inc.
• Southworth Products Corporation
These are potential 10-year contracts that will meet the
Postal Service's present and future requirements for dock
lift, container unloader, and work positioner technology.
These partnerships will also maximize parts interchangeability and increase standardization opportunities every
time we purchase their equipment.
The Advance Lifts, Inc., contract will meet Postal Service dock lift, commercial container, unloader, and hamper
dumper requirements nationwide and provide a 36% discount on original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts with
a one-year warranty. The contract requires ordering officials to purchase all dock lifts (including dock lifts purchased by contractors working on Postal Service
construction projects) from Advance Lifts, Inc.
The Southworth Products Corporation contract will
make them the exclusive supplier of work positioners (i.e.,
tilters, pallet positioners, and other electric/hydraulic ergonomic equipment, etc.) and provide a 30% discount on
parts with a two-year warranty.
These partnerships are consistent with Supply Management's commitment to provide cost savings through leveraged Postal Service national buying, transaction cost
savings, and streamlined procedures. Both partnerships
are expected to save the Postal Service an average of 35%
over previously paid new equipment pricing.

Flight Tracking System
Supply Management's Supply Chain Management
Strategies and Air Transportation Category Management
Center are in the process of awarding a contract to CORE
Systems for its Flight Tracking System. The system will
take the Postal ServiceTM to a new level of proactively managing contracted mail flights.
The Flight Tracking System uses real-time status reporting and historical data to monitor the performance of both
scheduled and ad-hoc air contracts, while distributing real-
time alert notifications as soon as aircraft are detected operating outside of user-defined timing criteria. In addition,
the tool provides the user with automatic alerts to schedule
changes before an aircraft even departs.
The Postal Service will benefit from using the Flight
Tracking System in the following ways:
• Performance data is taken from the Federal Aviation
Administration's Air Traffic Control Radar, so it's
accurate.
• Transportation managers are able to stay abreast of
flight delays without relying on carrier notification or
spending additional time and resources manually
checking flight schedules.
• Proactive responses to flight delays are allowed
thanks to automatic flight alerts. When configured to
monitor specific city pairs, as specified by the individual user, all down-line parties involved in servicing
flights on that route can be notified simultaneously
through real-time alerting. During the 2003 Christmas
season, automatic flight alerts allowed Postal Service
shared networks to avoid significant costs related to
scheduled flight operations.
• The reporting capabilities are a valuable tool for compiling and validating historical flight data for accurate
contract reconciliation. All reports can be exported to
a spreadsheet file with one click.
The anticipated contract award date is April 1, 2004.
Please look for the announcement in a future issue of the
Postal Bulletin. If you need further information or want to
obtain services and pricing information, please contact
Glen Gates, contracting officer representative (COR), at
202-268-8856.
