RE: | Transportation Agreement dated July 31, 2006 (the Transportation Agreement) between the United States Postal Service (USPS) and Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) Shipment Record on FedEx Holidays |
Dear Ms. Partridge:
Effective March 15, 2009, USPS and FedEx add the following to Exhibit C, Payment Procedures, as Paragraph VI:
VI. | In order to address an operational incompatibility between the FedEx invoicing system, which cannot generate an invoice on FedEx Holidays when no volume is scanned, and the USPS system (SASS/LCMS INTERFACE), which cannot accept a zero dollar invoice, and in order to avoid re-programming costs to both parties by resolving the incompatibility, the parties agree to the following procedure: |

FedEx will create and manually enter into FedExs rating system one shipment record for each of the dates on which the FedEx Holidays will occur. For the Shipping Periods in which the FedEx Holidays actually occur, FedEx will rate the charge for the pre-loaded record, USPS will pay FedEx the invoiced charge, and FedEx will issue USPS a credit for the amount of the charge in the corresponding reconciliation. The shipment record for each FedEx Holiday will be the then-current rate for a 1-lb trucking location loose piece and will be subject to the same review processes between the Parties as all other financial matters relating to the Transportation Agreement. If actual volume occurs on any FedEx Holiday, the charge for the actual volume will not be refunded. The D&R Numbers for these records will be formatted with a W as the first character, the month, date and year of the applicable FedEx Holiday as the 2nd through 7th characters, and HOL as the 8th through 10th characters, and FedExs Matching Handling Unit table will be populated as follows:
Field Name | Value | |
D&R Number | Shipment identifier described above, e.g. W112708HOL | |
