We accomplish this by providing direct fi nancial support to environmental organizations, such as Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. AMSS COMMITMENT TO A GREEN EQUIPMENT PROGRAM Since 1992 we have been saving the environment one machine at a time. AMSS has carefully assessed the impact that our decisions make on the world around us. We changed our environmental philosophy in order to save the earth for generations to come. AMSS is challenging our customers about the way they think when it comes to acquiring mailing equipment. We want to help save the earth. Since 2007 we have acquired over 8,000 machines that would have been destined for land fills. We recycled the rubber, plastic, metal, & circuit boards from those machines. What are your company s green initiatives? We Support Fossil Rim Sustainability Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that modern civilization is affecting the quality of our environment. Therefore, the choices we make today, collectively and privately, impact the quality of life of future generations. Scientists and citizens are becoming more concerned with global warming and the impact that greenhouse gases are said to have.

HOT PRODUCTS How to Save on Certified Mail Use Since Certified Mail provides both proof of mailing and proof of delivery, a copy of each Certified Mail transaction is kept on file by the United States Postal Service. Since 2005, the USPS has offered the option for senders of Certified Mail to obtain a digital signature from the recipient. This option, called Electronic Return Receipt, reduces the cost to obtain the signature from $2.30 for the Green Card signature to $1.10 for the Digital signature. To take advantage of this $1.20 in postage savings offered by Electronic Return Receipt, senders of Certified Mail must go through a series of time consuming steps after sending their mail. First, the Certified Mail number must be keyed into the USPS website and tracked. Second, the user must fi ll out a form enter first name, last name and email address, then click submit. Third, the USPS sends the digital signature to the specified email address as an attached PDF. For companies that send large amounts of Certified Mail, this manual process defeats the purpose of using Electronic Return Receipt because the $1.20 in postage savings is quickly erased by the manual labor associated with each transaction. HOW CAN BUSINESSES SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? They can use USPS approved Certified Mail software with forms that can be printed using standard inkjet and LaserJet printers. These USPS approved Certified Mail solutions offer the ability to automate the Electronic Return Receipt processing as well. The software automatically uploads the required information to the USPS each day and provides the users of the software with the ability to download the signatures in bulk each week. Companies taking advantage of these USPS approved Certifi ed Mail solutions no longer have to waste countless hours having their staff manually hand write the Certified Mail forms. They just import their list of addresses into the software, and have the ability to print the Certified Mail forms in a fraction of the time it would take to manually hand write them. This labor savings combined with the $1.20 in postage savings offered by Electronic Return Receipt is helping companies across all industries improve their bottom line. HOW MUCH DO USPS APPROVED CERTIFIED MAIL SOLUTIONS COST? Most companies provide the software for free and only charge customers for the Certified Mail forms which can be printed using standard inkjet and LaserJet printers. The forms cost between $.16 and $.30 a piece depending on the volume purchased; a small price to pay for saving $1.20 in postage on each Certified Mail piece and countless hours in labor. Contact us for a free demo presentation on the use of USPS approved Certified Mail software. *Prices subject to change.
