April DMM Update

We update the DMM on Postal Explorer (pe.usps.com) at least once a month, so Postal Explorer is always your current source for mailing information. Today we made the following changes:

Combining Package Services Mail

We revised 705.7.0 to let mailers combine different subclasses of Package Services machinable parcels for destination BMC entry and, where applicable, at destination BMC rates. Previously mailers could commingle these pieces only when combined with Standard Mail machinable parcels. We made related revisions in 705.6.0.

Labeling Lists

We revised labeling lists to reflect changes in mail processing operations.

Check the Summary of Changes for a complete listing of updates. You will find revisions listed by effective date and also by chapter, with clickable links to revised sections.

Our next update is scheduled for April 30 to capture the new bundling requirements (see the March 2, 2006, Postal Bulletin for details
