Effective April 26, 2015, the Postal Service™ was revised Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) 705.18.5.7 to update references to the Click-N-Ship for Business™ application. This application is transitioning to a USPS® meter label solution that will inherit most of the current capabilities and features of the Click-N-Ship for Business application, but will no longer support creating labels unless an approved meter, permit, and/or eVS account payment method has been identified. Although this revision will not be published in the DMM until May 31, 2015, this change is effective immediately.
