Dear 360 Business Solutions/FP Mailing Customers,
At 360 Business Solutions and FP, we believe it is our role and responsibility during this time to prioritize the health and well-being of our customers and employees. We know this is an unsettling time and our hearts go out to all those impacted by COVID-19.
With our priorities in mind, our intent is to remain fully operational and continue to provide you with uninterrupted service, so we and FP have made some changes in order to accomplish this. We will be available via phone and email any time. If you have a technical issue, we will do all we can to troubleshoot it over the phone, reducing visits to offices, so please call us when standing in front of your machine. Supplies can be ordered phone, email, or online and shipped out to you. We accept credit card for payment over the phone if that’s easier than processing checks for you.

Rate Change is Coming (for One, Specific Service)
This change will affect very few postage meter users. On September 3, 2017, the USPS is making a small change to the way “Parcels” are shipped.There will be a rate increase on First-Class Mail® Parcels (FCM Parcels) by a weighted average of 9.9 percent, effective September 3, 2017. Parcels are bulky packages (think small boxes) that are also under 13oz.
The Postal Regulatory Commission’s approved the reclassification of First-Class Mail Parcels as retail prices for First-Class™ Package Services (FCPS). FCPS allows you to ship light packages weighing under 16 ounces. Prices within the new Retail category are available for items weighing not over 13 ounces and will range between 14 percent and 31 percent higher than Commercial (CBP) prices. Note: Signature Confirmation has always been available for FCM Parcels and will continue to be an option.
To download the rate change, please press: menu->remote services and allow the packet to load. If the new rate does not kick-in on September 3rd (1oz. -3oz parcels (to check, see that 1oz-4oz Parcels increased from $2.67 to $3.00). If you have any questions, please call Caitlin at 609-214-6000.

Rate Change is Almost Upon Us
The rate change does not occur until Sunday, January 22nd, but as of today, FP has yet to make the software available for downloading the new rates. They are expected to be released by Thursday or Friday the 19th/20th. We highly recommend downloading the update BEFORE Monday, since the system sometimes gets bogged down with so many people trying to contact the servers at once. As soon as the software becomes available, I will post and email detailed instructions on how to perform the update. It’s very simple, especially on the PostBase model machines.
If you have any questions, please give Caitlin a call.

When the software is released by FP for your machines, I will be sending out a blast email (expect around January 15th) with specific, simple instructions on how and when to download it.

Price Increase on Ink and Labels
Effective immediately, the price for ink and labels is increasing between $4 and $10, depending on the product. This is due to a rapid and dramatic increase in our shipping and delivery costs.

However, many of our customers are eligible for contract renewals that will include free ink and/or labels for the duration of the contract. Please call us to find out whether or not your organization can take advantage of this benefit.

THE RATE UPDATE IS AVAILABLE!
As of yesterday, 4/5/16, the newest rate update has become available for those with PostBase and OptiMail 30 postage machines. The new rates (rate decreases!) will not take effect until April 10th, but the software is available to DOWNLOAD NOW. I highly recommend you download it today, or at least some time before the 10th, because on Monday morning the 11th, I would bet that the system will be overloaded and connecting/downloading will not be quick and easy. If you download the update now, it should click in and be correct when you walk in Monday morning, however if it is not, you can download $0 of postage, and it should then be correct.
PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LINK to learn how to download the rates: http://www.fp-usa.com/ratechange/ratechange-update/ It even has videos! On the machines with color touch screens (PostBase models), it is as simple as pressing MENU-> REMOTE SERVICES-> then following any on-screen instructions.
Those of you whom have “custom pre-sets” for common postage on the screen MAY not see the rates updated on the icons. If this is the case, please call Bill or Caitlin and we will get that sorted out. You may have to use the “Product” menu temporarily to calculate postage.
As always, if you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact us via email (BP@360BusinessSolution.net or CP@360BusinessSolution.net) or phone (Bill at 609-927-6835 or Caitlin at 609-214-6000).
Note: Customers with machines other than the PostBase or OptiMail 30 will be contacted by us directly. Your process to download postage is different than the aforementioned instructions.

You will receive an email from us as soon as we know when the software will be released. That email will contain instructions on how to download the new rates and when to do it.

Postage Rate DECREASE coming April 10th, 2016
Yes, you read that right: a DECREASE. On April 10th, a rate change is coming, It will roll back the prices on some First Class Mail (letters, large flat envelopes, postcards), but not Priority Mail and other services. Generally, the decrease will be around 4.3%. Letters will drop from $0.485 to $0.465, large flats $0.98 to $0.94, and postcards $0.35 to $0.34. All PostBase models (if you have a color touch screen, it’s a PostBase) will be able to accept this decrease, but some particular models of older products (select MyMail, OptiMail, and UltiMail), may not. For those specific customers, I will be in contact.
Just like any rate change before, those with PostBase models will just need to connect their machines to their network, press MENU -> Remote Services, and run the download. That’s it! I will be sending out an email to all customers that will include full instructions on how to do this and when as the date approaches. If you have not received an email in the past month from me, please be sure to go to our “Customer Info Update” page, found here, and allow your spam filters to accept emails from CP@360BusinessSolution.net, BP@360BusinessSolution.net, and anything coming from ____@FP-USA.com.

Rate Updates Have Been Indefinitely Postponed.
According to a new FP release, the USPS has postponed their April 26th rate increase indefinitely. There were apparently a lot of complications with such incremental changes. However, do (most likely) expect some sort of rate change by the end of the year. I will keep customers updated via email and through this website as changes occur. Thank you for your patience!
3/27/15
A RATE UPDATE IS COMING!!!
On April 26th, a new rate table will take effect for those with postage machines. Put briefly, the cost of a First Class envelope is increasing one-half of a cent, from 48 to 48.5. The cost of other services is also raising. However, the cost of a stamp at the Post Office is remaining at 49 cents.
Here is a link to the bulletin on FP’s website:
http://www.fp-usa.com/ratechange/rate-change-april-2015/
The good news is that all of the FP postage meters 360 Business Solutions has supplied over the past few years are capable of computing the .5 cent change (unlike some other companies’ older models. Aren’t you glad you switched to FP?). You have nothing to worry about.
When we know the release date of the software, we will write another email detailing how to do this rate change. It will be only three very simple steps. And as usual, 360 Business Solutions is here to help you with any and all aspects of this change, should it be needed.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
PLEASE CHECK BACK IN APRIL FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO UPDATE YOUR POSTAGE MACHINE!
Thank you for your time, business, and loyalty. We are very fortunate to have the best customers around!

Your Mail is About to Get Smart
The USPS is unleashing a new program called “IMPB” (Intelligent Mail Package Barcode). It is a digital labeling system for sending items that are not “First Class” (AKA over 13 ounces). IMPB has a lot of advantages, including a reduced rate on many types of shipping and services, automatically created barcodes for tracking, and 4″x6″ labels containing all of the shipping information. Best of all, the system for creating them is easy to use, inexpensive, and can be integrated seamlessly into your mail room.
Please give us a call for more details.
