Clear answers about what PostalBridge helps prepare, what USPS still controls, and what this one-time product does and does not include.
What is a CMRA?
A Commercial Mail Receiving Agency is a business authorized to receive mail on behalf of customers. USPS sets the registration rules and makes the final approval decision.
What does PostalBridge help prepare?
PostalBridge helps prepare official forms, organize supporting documents, and build submission checklists so your registration package is easier to review before you take it to the responsible Post Office.
Does PostalBridge approve my registration?
No. USPS and the responsible Post Office make all final registration and approval decisions.
Is approval guaranteed?
No. PostalBridge does not guarantee approval, processing time, or a particular outcome.
Which official forms are prepared?
PostalBridge helps you prepare the official CMRA registration materials reflected in the current workflow. Required signatures and witness steps still need to be completed in the proper USPS process.
Can PostalBridge sign the forms?
No. PostalBridge cannot sign on behalf of the operator, witness required signatures, or represent USPS.
Will I need to visit a Post Office?
Yes, in most cases you should expect to work with the responsible Post Office because USPS controls the registration process and any related review or meeting requirements.
Which documents may be required?
Required documents can include business formation records, proof of premises, identification, supporting business records, and correspondence relevant to the registration. The exact mix can vary by workflow and review needs.
What is included with Self-Service?
Self-Service includes guided intake, secure document uploads, official form preparation workflow, checklist pages, address guidance, generated package preparation, and transactional status emails.
What is included with Guided Setup?
Guided Setup includes everything in Self-Service plus a human completeness review, one correction round, one 20-minute consultation, a personalized checklist, and a final package review before release.
How does the consultation work?
Guided Setup includes one 20-minute consultation intended to help you work through the current package and next-step questions in the workflow.
Can I upgrade from Self-Service?
The public product positioning anticipates an upgrade path, but any upgrade flow should only be relied on once PostalBridge enables it in the production workflow.
Does the service include ongoing compliance management?
No. This is a one-time registration-assistance product, not ongoing compliance management.
Can the fee be credited toward partner onboarding?
Any onboarding-credit policy must follow the active PostalBridge product configuration and partner onboarding terms in effect at the time of purchase.
What is the refund policy?
Refund handling depends on the active PostalBridge product terms and current refund-policy reference for the CMRA assistance product.
How is sensitive information protected?
PostalBridge positions this workflow around secure uploads, private review steps, and authenticated access instead of sending sensitive documents through email attachments or public links.
What happens when additional information is required?
If more information is needed, PostalBridge can guide you on what is missing or inconsistent so you can update the package before submission or review.
What happens if USPS delays or declines the application?
USPS controls the review timeline and outcome. PostalBridge can help you work through the prepared materials, but it does not control USPS delays or approval decisions.
