美国时间2023年2月15日，美国邮政正式向联邦政府提交了关于处理虚假邮政面单及包裹usps跑水账号的最新处理方案，并向美国民众展开为期一个月的意见收集。
这涉及到一大批usps跑水账号，目前市场充斥着大量便宜的usps账号，这种账号前几年屡出问题，交仓后不更新，usps反查等一系列问题，让电商客户损失惨重，不仅钱货两空，店铺也有可能因此遭受毁灭性打击。
美国邮政usps对跑水账号一直处于严查状态，而今出台了意见征集。相信对良好市场建立起到积极作用。
小编认为，远离跑水账号，生意在于长长久久。
附公示原文：
WASHINGTON — In recent years, a surge in the use of counterfeit postage has been found in the mail stream. The intentional use, or sale, of counterfeit postage is a crime because it seeks to obtain services without payment. This activity reflects an intentional effort to defraud the Postal Service of the funds it needs to provide services to the public.
In response to this problem, the Postal Service is filing a federal register notice about changes to the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), that will allow the Postal Service to treat items found in the mail stream bearing counterfeit postage as abandoned. “As the most trusted government agency in the nation, we will continue to work together with other law enforcement and government agencies to protect the sanctity of the mail,” said Chief Postal Inspector Gary Barksdale.
The Postal Service’s proposed changes will provide the public notice of the handling of items bearing counterfeit postage. Under the revision to DMM 604.8.4, articles found in the mails with counterfeit postage will be considered abandoned and may be opened and disposed of at the Postal Service’s discretion. The mission of the Postal Service and the Postal Inspection Service is to ensure the safety, security, and integrity of the U.S. Mail. The implementation of these new regulations will continue to support and enhance this mission.
Counterfeit postage is any marking or indicia that has been made, printed, or otherwise created without authorization from the Postal Service that is printed or applied, or otherwise affixed, on an article placed in the mails that indicates or represents that valid postage has been paid to mail the article. Consumers purchasing online items may be surprised to find out that the vendor mailed their goods using counterfeit postage. Under the new regulations, such items will be considered abandoned and disposed of at the Postal Service’s discretion. When this occurs, consumers will have to seek recourse from the vendor.
