Approved eVS Mailers

The parcel mailers listed in the table at the end of this article are currently the only ones authorized to manifest parcel mail using the Electronic Verification System (eVS) to pay for parcel mailings that are prepared under Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM^®) 705.2.9 and that meet the techni­cal specifications in Publication 205, Electronic Verification System Business and Technical Guide.

Limited Brands Direct Fulfillment (LBD Fulfillment) — based in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, in the Columbus District — began mailing under eVS on August 6, 2007, with distribu­tion to the following bulk mail centers:

• Atlanta, GA.
• Chicago, IL.
• Cincinnati, OH.
• Dallas, TX.
• Los Angeles, CA.
• Jersey City, NJ.
• Philadelphia, PA.
• San Francisco, CA.
• Springfield, MA.

FedEx SmartPost, which is testing eVS, is also permit­ted to place the “eVS” endorsement in the permit imprint indicia printed on its mailing labels. However, FedEx SmartPost is not using eVS for postage payment during this test.

PS Form 8125

eVS mailers are not required to use PS Form 8125, Plant-Verified Drop Shipment (PVDS) Verification and Clearance, with these exceptions:

• Cornerstone Shipping Solutions uses PS Form 8125 as an option to obtain a “start-the-clock” scan.
• DHL Express is required to use PS Form 8125 to document parcels presented at destination entry facilities. DHL Express prepares and pays for some destination entry parcels under eVS (such parcels are endorsed with “eVS” in the permit imprint indicia) and prepares and pays for other destination entry parcels under traditional PVDS manifesting procedures.
• FedEx SmartPost, which is testing eVS, is required to prepare and present PS Form 8125, along with all other paperwork required for PVDS manifesting procedures.
