Rate or Service Inquiries
The Commission has issued new rules for handling of Complaints and Rate or Service Inquiries as part of its responsibilities under the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006. These rules are designed to streamline the process for hearing complaints, and establish a rate or service inquiry procedure to deal with issues which do not require formal procedures. Individual rate or service inquiries are referred to the Office of the Consumer Advocate of the Postal Service to assist customers. The Postal Service has 45 days to respond to customers and advise the Commission of the resolution or their inability to do so. To further ensure transparency and accountability, the Postal Service provides a monthly Report to the Commission on Rate and Service Inquiries summarizing in narrative form the major subject areas, along with information shared with the customers. Prior to placing this report on the website, the Commission ensures that it is in compliance with the Privacy Act to accommodate any privacy concerns.
