FFMUN Fulfillment From USPS RIBBS Has Been Discontinued Until Further Notice
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FFMUN Fulfillment From USPS RIBBS Has Been Discontinued Until Further Notice

 
Research Triangle Park, NC – April 18, 2011 – Professional Mail Services, Inc (PMSI) of Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, a leading provider of mail communications, announced today that the USPS has immediately discontinued FFMUN fulfillment from RIBBSS until further notice.
 
The USPS is no longer going to distribute FFMUN data electronically via RIBBS but rather convert to a CD based fulfillment system. All of the details surrounding the USPS CD distribution are yet to be determined.  There has been no conversion timetable provided by the USPS as of yet, so we have no idea how long it will take to get everything converted to this new distribution method.
 
PMSI is fully prepared to modify our FFMUN distribution programs to successfully operate under the new USPS FFMUN program guidelines.  Once the new guidelines are distributed by the USPS, we will begin program modifications and start FFMUN data distribution to our customers as soon as possible.
 
It should be pointed out that this issue is not affecting the processing of your mail or Move Update compliance.  PMSI is still processing your mail and successfully using FASTforward in order to be Move Update compliant.  The only problem affecting PMSI and our customers is that the USPS is NOT making any FFMUN data available to PMSI or any other customers so we cannot send you your FASTforward “hits” in order for you to update your mailing database.
 
We will update you as we get more information from the Postal Service.
 
The entire USPS announcement can be found on the following page.

Announcement 1 of 1
 
FFMUN Fulfillment from RIBBS has been discontinued until further notice.
 
Primary Audience: ALL FFMUN RIBBS fulfillment customers
 
What: Due to security concerns surrounding RIBBS, FFMUN Fulfillment from RIBBS has been discontinued. The USPS will be converting all FFMUN fulfillments to CD until a viable electronic alternative is implemented.
The USPS is reviewing the fulfillment schedule and volumes for each customer to determine the most efficient fulfillment schedule. We will be contacting each FFMUN RIBBS fulfillment customer to verify the shipping address for their account. Subsequent communications will occur with each customer regarding the fulfillment schedules.
When: The USPS will begin fulfilling CD’s early next week. Actual shipping of the CD’s will not begin until we have confirmed each shipping address.
Impact: FFMUN RIBBS electronic fulfillment will not be available.
 
What you need to do: Read and notify the appropriate personnel. Be prepared to provide a shipping address for each account along with updated contact information. Review your existing processes to determine how to incorporate CD processing.
