a. Performance Threshold for Vending Equipment
Self service vending equipment at postal locations
with monthly sales totals less than $360.51 must be
removed. All vending equipment at nonpostal locations with monthly sales totals less than $462.55
must be removed.
Note: These criteria will change with every rate case.
b. Not Meeting Performance Threshold
Self service vending equipment models that do not
meet their performance threshold must be replaced
with a model with a lower performance threshold.
When there is no replacement model with a lower
performance threshold, then vending service at this
location must be discontinued.
c. Meeting Performance Threshold
Self service vending equipment meeting its model
performance threshold must remain at its current
location.
d. Exceeding Performance Threshold
Self service vending equipment exceeding its model
maximum sales performance will be evaluated on a
case-by-case basis. Deciding factors may include
cost per revenue dollar (CPD), availability of vending
machine replacement parts, and the availability of
other means of purchasing stamps.
