The Postal Service is offering a webinar about the Facility Access and Shipment Tracking (FAST) system this Friday, May 21, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET.

Learn about many benefits of FAST for both drop-shipped and origin-entered mailings, including a simplified process for scheduling and managing appointments, streamlined data maintenance and a reduction in overall appointment wait times. This overview will include a walk-through of the FAST application detailing appointment scheduling procedures and reporting features. The webinar also will outline FAST appointment requirements for Intelligent Mail Full Service mailers.

A question-and-answer session through the “chat room” will follow the FAST presentation.
