RIBBS Application Remains Offline Until April 21

The RIBBS^® application was disabled by the Postal Service™ on Friday, April 15, and we anticipate it will remain inoperable until Thursday, April 21. We have determined that an extensive restoration process is required to recreate the RIBBS software and hardware platforms.

We are implementing contingency processes to send data to users on physical media. Users will be contacted by the respective program help desks with additional information. Feel free to contact the RIBBS help desk at ribbs@usps.gov if you have any questions.

We will provide the next update on Wednesday, April 20, unless we have new information to report before that.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
