Effective March 5, 2018, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), section 705.18.5.7, to remove the USPS® meter label solution application option.
The Postal Service has notified business customers that as of March 31, 2018, the USPS meter label solution application option (formerly Click-N-Ship for Business®) will no longer be available. We will revise DMM section 705.18.5.7 to remove the USPS meter label solution option for creating labels. You can find other applications and postage option information on the “Postage Options” page at usps.com.
