Non stamped mail2000

You're referring to the Non-Stamped Mail (NSM) 2000!

The Non-Stamped Mail 2000 was a system introduced by the United States Postal Service (USPS) in 2000 to facilitate the processing of mail without postage stamps. This system allowed mailers to use a special barcode label instead of a postage stamp to pay for postage.

Here's how it worked:

1. Mailers would purchase a Non-Stamped Mail 2000 label from the USPS or a authorized vendor.
2. The label would contain a unique barcode that corresponded to the postage amount owed.
3. The mailer would affix the label to the mailpiece, along with any required postage indicia (such as a permit imprint).
4. The USPS would scan the barcode at the point of entry, and the postage would be deducted from the mailer's account.

The Non-Stamped Mail 2000 system was designed to streamline the processing of mail, reduce labor costs, and improve accuracy. It was particularly useful for mailers who sent large volumes of mail, such as businesses and organizations.

However, the Non-Stamped Mail 2000 system was eventually phased out by the USPS in favor of newer technologies, such as electronic postage and digital mail tracking. Today, mailers can use a variety of methods to pay for postage, including online postage services, postage meters, and permit imprints.
