September DMM Update

Postal Explorer^® (pe.usps.com) is your source for up-to-date mailing standards. The Domestic Mail Manual (DMM^®) is fully searchable on Postal Explorer and features fly-out menus, cross-reference links, and an extensive subject index. Today we updated our mailing standards to include the following changes:

Domestic Competitive Products Pricing and Mailing Standards Changes

We revised various sections of the DMM to reflect changes to some of the prices for Priority Mail^® and the mailing standards for Premium Forwarding Service Commercial™ competitive products. We published this information in the August 7, 2014, Postal Bulletin.

eDoc Volume Criteria for Single-Piece First-Class Mail

We revised 604.5.1 to correct the DMM language permitting less than the current minimum volume for permit imprint mailings when mailers submit electronic postage statements and piece-level barcode information for single-piece First-Class Mail^® letters. We published this information in the August 21, 2014, Postal Bulletin.

New Mailing Standards for Domestic Mailing Services Products

We revised various sections to introduce new or enhanced service features. We published this information in the August 21, 2014, Postal Bulletin.

Our next scheduled DMM update is October 6, 2014.
