Effective June 24, 2011, employees who process postage due articles will be required to track postage due collected for short paid and forward/return to sender separately. PS Form 3584, Postage Due Log, (see pages 27–28) and the POS One system have been modified to support new processes which have been developed. The Postage Due Log and the POS One workflow for postage due collection now contain separate fields for short paid, forward/return to sender, and product where applicable.
In addition to the separation of postage due types, the new PS Form 3584 also supports changes to forward and return to sender service for Parcel Select® shipments. A new additional service fee will be collected for all Parcel Select pieces, which are forwarded or returned to sender, including those forwarded or returned locally. The service fee, in addition to the Parcel Select barcoded nonpresort price, will be assessed for all Parcel Select pieces, which are forwarded or returned to the sender.
Employees who process and calculate the postage due for items will indicate the amount due. For Parcel Select that is forwarded or returned, the total for postage and the additional service fee must be recorded on the mailpiece.
Revised PS Form 3584 Postage Due Log
Post Offices™ and postal retail units must begin using the June 2011 version of PS Form 3584 Postage Due Log on June 24, 2011. Previous versions are obsolete and must be disposed of properly. PS Form 3584 is revised to include the recording of the product type and the delineation of shortpaid and forward/return to sender.
