When will USPS require non-IMI meters to be removed from the market?

There is a lot going on, so here’s a snapshot of key dates to remember.

  • June 30, 2024: The USPS will discontinue all IBI meters after this date.* To remain compliant, you must switch to an IMI-compliant solution.
  • December 31, 2024: If your device is still non-compliant after June 30, a grace period will be provided through this date. During this time, you can continue using your current meter but are required to migrate to an IMI-compliant solution to avoid potential disruptions to your mailing operation. After this date, IBI meters will not be able to print valid postage.*
  • June 30, 2026: DM Infinity™ will be withdrawn from service at this time through a USPS-approved extension. We are fast at work to deliver a solution that meets both your needs and USPS regulations. Find information and updates on your DM Infinity replacement here.

*Due to enhanced security features, the USPS has extended the service withdrawal deadline for Connect + and SendPro P-Series devices beyond 2024. You can continue using your system through the end of the current lease period and transition to an IMI solution at that time.

Why did the USPS mandate a move to the IMI standard?

Postage and transaction data that USPS gets from IBI is limited, and it inhibits them from fully automating some back-office operations (such as refunds and proper postage payment validation). The IMI standard will provide much more detailed real-time transaction data, enabling the USPS to automate operations, employ better security standards, and ensure correct postage is used.

How can I learn if my meter is either IBI or IMI technology?

Log in to Your Account to view if your meter is IBI or IMI technology. If you have more than one meter, click on each meter, and the IBI or IMI designation will appear to the right of the product code.

What if I want to cancel my lease?

  1. Sign in to the Pitney Bowes Your Account Online Portal.
  2. Select Account Support > Request Termination of Contract and then your contract type. 
  3. Complete the form and select Submit.
  4. Once the request to cancel the contract has been submitted, a representative will be assigned to your case and will assist with completing your request. Instructions will be provided on how to decommission your meter and return it to Pitney Bowes.
