Identify and Recover Dormant Permit Funds Do not assume you are getting refunds for closed accounts. If you have a permit account without activity for two years, the USPS® will send one letter to the person who originally took out the permit to come into the local Post Office within 30 days to request the funds or to pay the annual fee. If this does not happen, the funds will be transferred to a different general ledger account at the USPS® and it will be considered income to the Post Office for that year. You have the right to get the money back if you can prove you had a permit at that Post Office, but it is up to the client to initiate this request. The USPS® will never send another notification about these funds or make them available in any public database for you to search. We had the USPS® Office of the Inspector General do a research study on this and it turns out there are hundreds of millions of dollars that have been taken due to the USPS® not publishing these funds as is required for every other type of lost funds throughout the US.  The key point is that we check the balances on all of your accounts and set up a process to make sure the funds are returned on closed permits. Postal Advocate will help recover dormant and lost postage including: Identifying dormant account balances throughout the United States Validating that the specific account should be refunded Requesting the refunds following USPS® procedures Validating with the client that funds have been received Storing the data in the Postal Advocate enterpriseAdvocate© web dashboard to have full visibility of all postage spends in a standardized format Monitoring accounts for the future to find future opportunities Mail Equipment and Postage Creating visibility and driving savings on the cost of mailing equipment and metered postage run through your locations.

Optimize Your Business Reply Mail (BRM) Accounts Having multiple BRM accounts can be very confusing. You’re likely being billed at the wrong levels and not even know. Benefits of Centralized Management: Savings – Eliminate paying separate fees for each location Visibility – Monitor returned mail to eliminate overpaying for each location There are two core areas to consider with Business Reply Accounts: How many returns do you expect to get back? What program should you set up that minimizes fees and postage? There are two types of fees plus the postage costs: Annual/Quarterly Permit Fees Per Piece Return Fees Postage Costs To simplify this, the chart below shows that if you are getting less than 968 items back per year, you are better off with a Basic account. Higher volumes could be costing you significantly more money. This is the biggest area of overspending.  Client Example: 1) Locations doing high volumes on Basic BRM accounts.  If you are receiving 10,000 pieces back per year, you are overspending by almost $8,000 including the cost of the annual fees. 2) Locations paying for more expensive BRM accounts but getting low number of returns.  If you are only getting 250 pieces back per year, it is costing you $1,147-10,932 vs. a basic BRM account that would only cost $640 per year. 3) Locations paying for permits that are no longer active.  We see a large percentage of BRM accounts where the annual permit fees are being paid but they are either getting very low return numbers or no returns because it is no longer part of an active mailing program.  These accounts should be cancelled, and Meter Reply can be used when needed with the metered date turned off. Postal Advocate will help setup and maintain your consolidated Business Reply Accounts including: Linking all active accounts Consolidating into master accounts with centralized funding and visibility Optimizing each location to make sure that it is set up to optimize fees and postage based on the historical trend of returned mail Validating that annual fees are paid Pulling monthly or as needed reports Storing the data in the Postal Advocate enterpriseAdvocate© web dashboard to have full visibility of all postage spends in a standardized format Working directly with the client on questions and interfacing with the USPS® on issue resolution Mail Equipment and Postage Creating visibility and driving savings on the cost of mailing equipment and metered postage run through your locations.

Consolidating Your Locations Into Master Permits We see companies with tens to hundreds of permits that were taken out by different groups, at different points of time, without any centralized oversight.  It is difficult to manage the balances, annual fees, and funding levels.  We recommend merging these accounts to master permits with sub-accounts that can roll up to a central funding point.  Here are the benefits: Eliminate Annual Fees – Pay one permit fee and mail from different locations. This can save hundreds/thousands in annual fees. Central Visibility – Access your data with ease and export reports to simplify the oversight. Simplified Funding – Pull funds from one EPS account through ACH is much easier and can make the funds available faster. Now all permits can be funded from one place in real time.

Creating Visibility Larger mailings are funded with direct USPS® accounts.  These are typically fragmented because there are different groups controlling their own USPS® relationships which are infrequently linked to a master postage funding model. Examples: Statements are processed by one account Business reply accounts are at the office level Marketing mailings managed by third-party vendors that are generating the mailings This becomes more difficult when there are multiple offices, regions, and divisions inside an organization. Postal Advocate has developed a four-step process to create this visibility: Step 1 – Request a report from the client’s accounts payable system with the core names that the Postal Service may show up in your system:  USPS®, United States Postal System, *Post Master*, *Post Office*.  This should go back as far as possible in case there are dormant accounts that could have lost funds. Step 2 – Isolate one transaction from each permit account from the reports in Step 1 and request a PDF copy of the invoice.  This will provide a higher level of detail on where the permit is funded, permit number, internal contact etc. Step 3 – Link each permit account to the USPS® Business Gateway.  This provides the visibility to the account, funding levels, and transaction details. Step 4 – Pull summary data into enterpriseAdvocate.com© to provide visibility where required throughout your organization.
