7-6 PS Form 3877, Firm Mailing Book for Accountable Mail

7-6.1 If your manifest mailing includes pieces with extra services, list the pieces on PS Form 3877, Firm Mailing Book for Accountable Mail, or a computer-generated facsimile PS Form 3877. The Postal Service uses the information on PS Form 3877 to respond to claims for loss or damage to mailpieces and to inquire about other services requested. The Postal Service acceptance personnel will sign and date the summary page and return the manifest. This will serve as your record of the pieces mailed.

7-6.2 PS Form 3877 may be prepared as follows:

1. Combined with the postage payment information on the manifest.
2. A separate computer-generated facsimile form. The form must state “PS Form 3877 (Facsimile).”
3. If there are 15 or fewer pieces, manually on the preprinted Postal Service form.

Note: The manifest can serve as PS Form 3877 if all the information required by PS Form 3877 is reported on the manifest. See Exhibit 30 for sample format of PS Form 3877 and manifest combined.
