Postage Purchases
Purchase Methods: Postage purchases are billed when a customer elects to purchase postage. Due to the USPS's Automated Postage Verification (APV) program, designed to ensure that proper postage is paid for every package shipped domestically, monthly corrections may be necessary. This USPS program actively monitors that all postage paid for shipping labels matches the USPS assessed cost based on the weight, dimensions, box type, service selected, and origin and destination zip codes captured on their sorting equipment. If the USPS APV finds that postage paid was either too high or too low, the difference will be credited to or deducted from the sender's postage balance.
USPS has up to 30 days after shipment to issue an adjustment. Accordingly, Qwintry Global reserves the right to issue adjustments after the information is received from USPS.
Starting January 10, 2020, all Qwintry Global account balances will be adjusted based on the USPS's APV corrections on previous shipping fees. Any overpayments our customers made will be credited and any underpayments will be deducted.
