The files contained in the Drop Shipment Product are available for download from the Resources section of FAST. Mailers who participate in the PVDS program must use the information in the Drop Shipment Product.
The Product includes facility information, such as dock restrictions (e.g., dock height and canopy clearance) and material handling capabilities (e.g., pallet and rolling stock). Facility characteristics are derived from the FDB, which is maintained and updated by local sites as changes occur.
