[. . . ] The mailing date is crucial in determining which facilities are valid for your mailing. If you're mailing First Class or you're dropping at a small facility (one that is not a BMC, ASF, SCF, or ADC), your mailing is not eligible for destination discounts. Therefore, you can leave the estimated mailing date blank. The estimated mailing date is printed on the postage statement. If you do not enter an estimated mailing date in the software, then the date will not be printed on your postage statement, and you will need to fill it in by hand. 160 DeskTop User's Guide Entry point The USPS mail-processing facility where you enter your mailing is called an entry point. An entry point can be: A local post office A Sectional Center Facility (SCF) An Area Distribution Center (ADC) A Bulk Mail Center (BMC) or an Auxiliary Service Facility (ASF) Postalsoft makes it quick and easy to enter your entry-point information by allowing you to choose BMCs, ASFs, ADCs, and SCFs from a drop-down list. If your mail facility is not one of these three types, you enter the name, city, state, and ZIP Code of your facility. Default entry point If you enter your mail at the same facility for all or most of your mailings, consider setting up a default entry point in Postalsoft. To enter a default entry point, choose Tools > Options > Default Entry Point button. The choice you make here becomes the default entry point for all new . mdf files. If you discard a presort in an existing file, the default takes effect. Settings Library If you set up jobs for many different entry points, a default entry point may not be enough. With the Settings Library, you can save many entry point components. After you save a component, you can load it in the wizard. Click the Load Entry Point button, and in the Settings Library choose a component appropriate for the current job and click Load. You may be able to claim a destination-entry discount on mail that will be delivered within the service area of the entry office. The USPS doesn't have to truck this mail to another office, so some of the transportation savings may be passed on to you. Consult your DMM, postmaster, or USPS account representative about your eligibility for discounts. When you claim destination discounts, DeskTop Mailer uses USPS FAST data to determine valid Bulk Mail Centers (BMCs), Area Distribution Centers (ADCs), and Sectional Center Facilities (SCFs) for your mailings based on the mailing date and the mail piece's shape and class. Some postal facilities accept only certain mail classes and shapes, because of their sorting equipment. When planning mailings, you can use the FAST web site to learn about the postal facilities where you'd like to submit your mailing. You can also use the FAST web site if you suspect an error in the data. It is your responsibility to ensure that the facility where you want to drop your mail is indeed valid for your mailing. Communicate with the acceptance clerk at the postal facility and check the FAST site to learn if an entry point is new, has been deleted, or has been split.
