Unused Label Refunds
Postal ServiceTM.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Postal Service will
implement two new options for mailers
to submit refund requests for unused
labels using an automated online
process. A hyperlink will be located on
the Electronic Verification System
(eVS®) Monthly Account and Sampling
Summary page where users can access
a portal to submit unused label refunds.
DATES: These options shall be
implemented August 1, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Direct questions to Jimmy A. Palma by
email at jimmy.a.palma@usps.gov or by
phone at (202) 268–8798.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
Background
Currently the Postal Service allows
eVS mailers to submit a refund request
for unused labels using a Type ‘‘4’’
Corrections Shipping Services File.
Additionally, eVS mailers can submit
refund requests for unused labels
through the Dispute Queue accessible
from the Business Customer Gateway. In
this Notice, the Postal Service is
announcing its plan to replace these
methods with two new options for eVS
mailers to submit refund requests for
unused labels, using an automated

online process. A hyperlink titled
‘‘Submit Refund Request for Unused
Labels’’ will be added to the eVS
Monthly Account and Sampling
Summary page. This hyperlink provides
access to the portal to use the two new
options. The two options are as follows:
Option 1—PIC/EFN Submission (Text
File Option)
A mailer can upload a text (.txt) file
with multiple Package Identification
Codes/Electronic File Numbers (PIC/
EFNs). There is no limit to the number
of PIC/EFNs submitted if using the text
(.txt) upload option. Refer to appendix
N in Postal Service Publication 205,
Electronic Verification System (eVS®)
Business and Technical Guide (https://
postalpro.usps.com/node/3724) for
guidance on using the online interface
for uploading text files or using the
entry box when requesting refunds for
unused labels. All refund requests made
through the online interface must be
submitted within 60 days of the date of
mailing. The system will validate if PIC/
EFNs are formatted appropriately, and
will create a dispute queue case number
accessible through both the eVS landing
page and the dispute queue. If PIC/EFNs
fail format validation, an error message
will be displayed for any of the
following reasons: Invalid PIC length,
duplicate EFN, commas in EFN, invalid
EFN prefix, EFN submitted as a PIC,
and/or invalid EFN length. If PIC/EFNs
pass format validation, the system will
reconcile the uploaded file to manifest
data to verify payment activity, physical
scan activity, timely submission, and
uniqueness. As a result of the system
evaluation, PIC/EFNs are approved or
denied. Mailers can view the status and
the results by accessing the Unused
Label Refund Report in the Dispute
Queue in PostalOne! ®. A refund will be
issued within 20 days to the shipper’s
CAPS account for the approved PIC/
EFNs. As is the current practice, the
refund will be 90 percent of the labels’
postage value unless a different
percentage is authorized.
Option 2—PIC/EFN Submission (Entry
Option)
A mailer can enter up to 200 PIC/
EFNs in the online entry form in
PostalOne!. Refer to appendix N in
Postal Service Publication 205 (https://
postalpro.usps.com/node/3724) for
guidance on using the online interface
for uploading text files or using the
entry box when requesting refunds for
unused labels. All refund requests made
through the online interface must be
submitted within 60 days of the date of
mailing. The system will validate if PIC/
EFNs are formatted appropriately, and

will create a dispute queue case
number, accessible through both the
eVS landing page and the dispute
queue. If PIC/EFNs fail format
validation, an error message will be
displayed for any of the following
reasons: invalid PIC length, duplicate
EFN, commas in EFN, invalid EFN
prefix, EFN submitted as a PIC, and/or
invalid EFN length. If PIC/EFNs pass
format validation, the system will
reconcile uploaded file to manifest data
to verify payment activity, physical scan
activity, timely submission, and
uniqueness. As a result of the system
evaluation, PIC/EFNs are approved or
denied. Mailers can view the status and
the results by accessing the Unused
Label Refund Report in the Dispute
Queue in PostalOne!. A refund will be
issued within 20 days to the shipper’s
CAPS account for the approved PIC/
EFNs. As is the current practice, the
refund will be 90 percent of the labels’
postage value unless a different
percentage is authorized.
The addition of the above two
automated options will provide a
benefit to mailers by reducing the
processing time of refund requests for
unused labels while providing mailers
better visibility into the status of refund
cases. Once deployed, the two
automated options will be the only
method to submit unused label refund
requests.
