Return Scans Get New Name

Merchants and Parcel Return Service (PRS) reverse logistics providers are about to see new names for well-known scans.

These are the two renamed scans indicating that merchants' reverse logistics providers have picked up return parcels at USPS® facilities:

n The “17,” or “Picked Up by Agent” scan, performed at Return Delivery Units, will be renamed “Tendered to Return Agent.”

n The “42,” or “USPS Handoff to Shipping Partner” scan, performed at Return Sectional Center Facilities, will be renamed “Tendered to Return Agent.”
