DSAS logon IDs will not work with FAST.
All drop shippers, including those who make appointments by telephone,
must register for a FAST ID through PostalOne! at www.usps.com/postalone.
Those customers who already have a PostalOne! account and
also need access to FAST must register by calling the PostalOne!
Customer Care Center at 800-522-9085. Detailed instructions on the FAST/PostalOne!
registration process are available on RIBBS.
Customer ID Activation
Customers must log on to FAST within
7 days of receiving their IDs. FAST IDs that are not utilized within 7
days of issue will become inactive and require a call to the PostalOne!
help desk for activation.
Recurring Appointment Submission
All drop shippers who currently have
recurring appointments must reapply using PS Form 6241, Recurring
Appointment Request, available at http://www.usps.com/forms/allforms.htm;
