system at an installation may be used for the particular type of route served. The three basic systems are: a. One-Bundle System: Arrange all separations on case(s) for letter mail. Case magazines, newspapers, and flats with letter-size mail. Withdraw and strap out letter and flat mail together. Note: When a one-bundle system is used, sequenced mailings shall not be cased but shall be handled as additional bundles. When directed by management to deliver sequenced mailings, handle mailings as follows: (1) Carriers serving foot or park and loop deliveries will not be required to carry more than three bundles. (2)
Carriers serving other types of deliveries are not limited to three
bundles of mail. b. Two-Bundle System: Case letter-size and other mail separately. Withdraw and strap out in separate bundles. (1) Carriers serving foot or park and loop deliveries will not be required to carry more than three bundles. (2)
Carriers serving other types of deliveries are not limited to three
bundles of mail. c. Modified Two-Bundle System: Arrange all separations on case for letter mail. Case newspapers, magazines, and flats first in letter separations and withdraw and strap out before casing and tying out letter-size mail. Do this only when First-Class Mail, including markups, will not be delayed. (1) Carriers serving foot or park and loop deliveries will not be required to carry more than three bundles. (2)
Carriers serving other types of deliveries are not limited to three
bundles of mail.
In addition to the systems described in a, b, and c, above, there are options
concerning how residual mail in a Delivery Point Sequencing environment is
to be cased and handled. Listed below are the two approved methods;
management will select one of these methods for each route. d. Composite Bundle: Residual mail is cased and strapped out separately. For each relay, street, block etc., the residual bundle of letter mail is carried along with the DPS letter mail bundle. Flats are carried separately from these letter bundles. e. Casing Letters in the Vertical Flat Case: Residual mail is cased in the same case with the vertically cased flats. Letters and flats are withdrawn and strapped out together in a single bundle. The DPS letter mail is carried separately as a second bundle. Note: In both DPS methods (d and e), carriers serving foot or park and loop deliveries may carry up to three bundles of mail. Carriers serving curbline, central, or dismount deliveries are not restricted to a specific number of bundles of mail. |
