The process to calculate Misshipped Container Error verification results and assessments is below:

  1. Error Percentage Calculation:

    2.  

  2. Containers Above Error Threshold Calculation:

For Misshipped Errors, the containers above the error threshold are rounded down to the nearest whole number.

 

  1. eDoc Original Postage Calculation:

In this example, the mailer’s entire mailing was comprised of USPS Marketing Mail flats weighing under 3.3 ounces at a 3-digit sortation claiming a DSCF entry point, claiming a piece rate of $0.435.

 

  1. Correct Postage Calculation

The piece rate for USPS Marketing Mail flats weighing under 3.3 ounces at a 3-digit sortation with entry discount of “None” is $.479.

 

  1. Postage Assessment Calculation:

    2.  

The example below explains the process and calculation of assessments for Misshipped Errors for physical siblings of Logical Containers in Error. The mailer in the scenario only exceeds the monthly error threshold for Misshipped Errors. (For Misshipped Errors logged against physical siblings of logical containers, postage is recalculated on the logical container, then divided by the number of physical siblings. This amount is then applied to each physical sibling in error).

The process to calculate Misshipped Container Error verification results and assessments is below:

    2.  

  2. Containers Above Error Threshold Calculation:

For Misshipped Errors, the containers above the error threshold are rounded down to the nearest whole number.

 

  1. Postage Assessment Calculation:

In this example, 7 of the errors over threshold were siblings of Logical Container 1; 14 of the errors over threshold were siblings of Logical Container 2. The postage was recalculated on the logical container, then divided by the number of physical siblings. This amount was then applied to each physical sibling in error.
