Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notice(2006, a new PC Postage feature lets online shippers, and their customers, know their packages have been picked up and are on their way. When mailers go online to ship packages, they can create PS Form 5630, Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notice, at the end of the transaction. This form has one barcode that links all of the packages in the shipment. The mailer can bring the packages to the USPS retail window, USPS back dock, or give them to their letter carrier. The USPS verifies the total number of packages and scans a single barcode from the PS Form 5630. Every package in the shipment receives an "Acceptance" event from the Post Office. The "Package Accepted Event" is important to online shippers because it triggers the release of funds associated with auctions on sites such as eBay, as well as confirming to customers that their shipments have entered the USPS network.
