Termination of Local Stamps on Consignment Agreements

This is the final notice to Post Offices™ and postal retail units about the termination of local stamp consign­ment agreements. The termination of the local stamp consignment agreements was authorized by Headquarters Corporate Supply Management via a memo dated Decem­ber 2, 2004, with the subject of Rescission of Delegation of Authority — Local Stamp Consignment Agreements.

Post Offices and postal retail units with active local stamp consignment agreements that have not previously been submitted for termination must immediately send an e-mail message to the Stamps on Consignment Program Office (stampsonconsignment@usps.gov) for further instructions. Post Offices and postal retail units must not attempt to close any remaining local agreements without direction from the program office. Post Offices and postal retail units that have previously submitted local consignments for termination and are seeking additional information should contact the program office for status updates. For information on financial processes concerning the closeout procedures for local stamp consignment, see “Expiration of Local Stamp Consignment Agreements” in Postal Bulletin 22203, (3-29-07).

We will revise the local stamp consignment sections in the Postal Operations Manual (POM) and Handbook PO–209, Retail Operations Handbook, in the near future.
