C-1 Full-Service Assessment Calculation Examples

C-1.1 Assessment Calculation Example for MID Container Errors

The example below explains the process and calculation of assessments for MID Container errors. Errors at the container level require an additional step to identify the count of nested pieces prior to the calculation of additional postage due. The mailer in the scenario only exceeds the monthly error threshold for MID Container errors.

Assessment Calculation Example Results

Monthly Full-Service Verification Results:

 

The process to calculate MID Container error verification results and assessments is below:

1. Error Percentage Calculation:

 

Error Percentage	=	# of Full-Service Containers with MID Errors in eDoc
		Total # of Containers Submitted in Full-Service and Mixed-Service eDoc
	=	45 Containers
		800 Containers
	=	5.63%

2. Pieces Above Error Threshold Calculation:

For container errors, this is a two-step process. First, the number of containers above the error threshold is calculated. Then, the number of pieces nested to the containers above the error threshold is identified.

 

Number of eDoc Full-Service pieces nested to containers above error threshold: 523,000 pieces

3. Postage Assessment Calculation:

 

Additional Postage Due	=	# Pieces Above Error Threshold	x	Full-Service Discount Claimed
	=	523,000 Pieces x $.003
	=	$1,569.00
