PREMIUM FORWARDING SERVICE MOVES TO COMPETITIVE Premium Forwarding Service (PFS) is an attractive option for customers who plan to be away from home a minimum of two weeks but no longer than one year. With PFS, residential customers’ mail is reshipped from their permanent address to a temporary U.S. address once a week by Priority Mail. Now, PFS has moved from the market- dominant group of USPS products and services to the competitive group. We requested the move because customers have other options for this type of service, and the Postal Regulatory Commission agreed. This change gives us more pricing flexibility to respond to market demands. CALL FOR PAPERS Interested in making a presentation at the 2009 National Postal Forum?
