Window Book Now Supports PS Form 8017
Do you use the PS 8017 - Expedited Plant-Load Shipment Clearance form? Did you know that the Postal Service is now requiring mailers to fill out the form instead of the clerks at the DMU's? Even if you did not have to fill out this form in the past, you may now be required to complete and submit it now.
Window Book's DAT-MAIL and Post Master software solutions can now easily produce a single PS Form 8017 for each job that is manually entered into the system. They even let you attach all of the Origin mail statements generated that day to a single PS Form 8017.
Save time from having to fill out the PS 8017 manually!
Please call us at 800-524-0380 or email postalspecialist@windowbook.com and we will show you how you can easily produce this form!
