It is not clear to me what DPS should be recounted in this upcoming mail count. I’ve read the NRLCA mini mail survey training, and it talks about carriers who ‘take their DPS to the street.’ Upon return, anything undelivered, UTF’s, forwards, holds, etc., is counted again as raw mail. Is this correct?
What about carriers who case their DPS? In the RRECS Q and A: mini mail survey, I found three references to DPS recount - letters may be recounted if ‘out-of-sequence,’ missent, or inverted, the inverted letters being credited as 4 inverted = 1 raw letter.
I am the only person in my office who takes my DPS to the street. Are my co-workers entitled to pull ALL ‘undeliverable‘ mail from their DPS and have it recounted? So in addition to the missents, out-of-sequence and inverted, should they be pulling, holds, NOV, forwards, UTF’s, vacants? Should they be following the same procedure for DPS that was in place for previous mail counts even though they are not ‘taking their DPS to the street,’ as the current survey training specifies?
