Hi Gary,

Most info can be found on USPS.com. You can search the DMM, or click on Postal Explorer.

If you have a lot of packages, you can print a form that can be scanned once, and that will automatically accept all of the packages that are manifested on that form.

I have never heard of charging someone for an acceptance scan. If a carrier picks up your parcel, the carrier scans it as accepted. If you bring it to the Post Office, it is the clerks job to scan it as accepted. If you put a package in the blue collection box, whoever picks up the mail from that collection box is required to scan those parcels as accepted.

I would really like to see if someone in your Post Office can show me the rule that allows them to charge for an acceptance scan. It is actually a benefit to the clerk to scan the package. Every acceptance scan generates 1 minute and 12 seconds of additional workload and that workload translates into more workhours for the clerks.
