Effective March 31, 2018, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) in multiple places to remove references to the USPS® meter label solution application, which the Postal Service is shutting down.
On March 31, 2018, the Postal Service will permanently shut down the USPS meter label solution application (formerly called Click-N-Ship for Business®). The Postal Service began notifying business customers about the planned shutdown on January 29, 2018. For more information on other label and postage options, see usps.com/business/postage-options.htm.
