The MERLIN™ program can read the meter date, postage amount, and meter plate number of your mailing. First-Class™ Metered Mail must display the correct entry date and the correct amount of postage. There is no tolerance associated with meter dates; however, there is a 5 percent tolerance for shortpaid mailings tested on MERLIN.
Three reports are associated with First-Class Metered Mail:
 |
First-Class Metered Mail– Shortpaid Mail Sampling Worksheet (PS Form 6116x)
lists the total number of shortpaid pieces in the mailing sample and the postage due. It provides this information as a ratio of shortpaid pieces to total pieces sampled, which estimates the number of shortpaid pieces in the mailing and the resulting postage due for that mailing.
