DMM Revision: Expanded Option for Hardcopy and Electronic Return Receipt

Effective January 4, 2010, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Ser­vice, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) 503.2.1 to allow a combined purchase of hardcopy and electronic return receipt service.

Current standards allow the purchase of either a hard­copy return receipt or an electronic return receipt, but not both. This revision permits a combined purchase that will accommodate customers who wish to purchase both.

We will incorporate these revisions into the next printed version of the DMM and into the monthly update of the online DMM, which is available via Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com.
