Using USPS® Confirmation Services

3. Using Confirmation Services—an Overview

Before You Start

Make sure you have an adequate supply of pre-printed labels provided by your Pit- ney Bowes or SECAP dealer (see Section 5 for ordering instructions). Please do not use retail labels supplied by your Post Office – they won’t work with your system.

•has “e” in upper left corner

•22 digits for barcode

Retail Label from Post Office (Do NOT use)

X

•no “e” in upper left corner

•20 digits for barcode

Be sure to select the green label for Delivery Confirmation, the pink label for Signature Confirmation, or the dark hunter green label for Certified Mail.

Make sure your mailing system is set up to connect to the Data Center, the way you are normally connected when adding postage.

Note that confirmation services are not available for International Mail, APO or FPO mail, or for items addressed to U.S. territories, possessions, or freely associated states (with the exception of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Is- lands).

You should be thoroughly familiar with the operation of your mailing system and electronic scale (if you’re using one). Please see the operating guides furnished with your equipment for complete instructions.
