5-3.8 Invalid Scheduling

A drop shipment presented to a destination entry office must correspond to information provided with the scheduled appointment. If operationally feasible, the shipment may be accepted as an “Unscheduled Arrival,” and the discrepancy should be noted on the PS Form 8125 (if one is presented) and in the Comments section of the Daily Appointment Tracking Sheet.

Examples of invalid scheduling include the following:

1. Content exceeding 24 pallets or six pallet positions scheduled as a Speedline Appointment.
2. Reuse of the same Appointment ID for multiple appointments.
3. Appointment scheduled at different facility. These appointments are considered invalid and must be rejected.
