CVP? Meter strip? Wazdiz?

For 20 months, weekly mail from a vendor arrived bearing this postage.

The 071V00892594 is the same on every piece. Account number? Device number?

The 11230 is almost certainly the zip code from which the piece was mailed.

The 'Stude tells me that the bar code equals those two strings, eg, 071V0089259411230.

The 000021032 is a sequence number. My covers range from 000006462 postmarked 20141107 to 000039296 postmarked 20160702, or about 400 pieces each week.

Q/ Is this computer-vended postage? (eg, from a machine at the branch)

Q/ Is this output from a postage meter? (eg, from a machine on the company premises)

Q/ Is this created by software from, say, stamps.com? (and, presumably, printed via laser printer)

Q/ Is this something else?

Q/ Will they survive removal via Pure Citrus?

I appreciate your help, y'all, and offer free samples in return for material assistance.

Cheers,

/s/ ikeyPikey

re: CVP? Meter strip? Wazdiz?

This poatage label is called "Personal Computer Postage" purchased from Endicia.com

Scott lists such postage in the US Specialized Catalog, but only for very few postage rates.

Endicia.com postage labels inscribed with "First Class" under "US Postage" as yours were printed after a 2007 software change and are worth very little compared to the postage labels printed from 2005-2006. See Scott numbers 1CVP43-1CVP44, and associated notes.

I have saved examples of these and many other modern postal indicas on cover. They may not be worth much but they are interesting and part of our history.

re: CVP? Meter strip? Wazdiz?

I would gladly pay postage to receive some.

Cut corner for standard rates, entire (when feasible) for odd rates. Since most will be printed at the first class rate it will be other rates which are most desirable. I don't citrus stamps as a rule and don't know how it would work for these.

This service is mostly used by businesses, but they print them with a regular laser printer.

Update on Pure Citrus: Worked just fine: shpritz, scrape, re-shpritz, re-scrape, clean!

Update on Endicia: You will notice that their branding is MIA on my CVP in the OP.

I asked them whether/not their CVP was available without branding, and the answer was:

"I understand your concerns.

Unfortunately, this is not something that can not be removed."



On my ToDo list (Where Tasks Go To Die): is this their account, do they know anyone selling lookalike paper, etc.

The double negative means that it can be removed. I'm sure that's an error on their part.

The word "unfortunately" complicates the interpretation of the double negative.

If the double negative is a positive, then from where comes the "unfortunately"?

Unfortunately for them?
