Postage RefundsTo apply for a postage refund: Click on the Shipment History tab, locate the Refund column, select the specific transaction you want a refund for, click “Get refund”. A refund can be initiated when a shipping label was created and printed in error. If you receive a refund for a label and the label enters the mailstream those funds will be deducted from your NeoFunds®/TotalFunds® account. As soon as you apply for a postage refund, your NeoFunds®/TotalFunds® account will be credited for 90% of the postage value. You cannot receive funds in any other format. Once a label has been printed, you have 1 business day to request a refund. Note: it is 1 business day from the mailing date printed on the shipping label. The USPS® researches each refund request. If the refund is considered false or fraudulent, it will be rejected. The refund amount will be reversed within the NeoFunds®/TotalFunds® account. This process can take up to 45 days. You will find one of these symbols in the refund column: • A “green arrow” depicts a conditional refund and this icon is displayed upon the initial refund request • A “red X” depicts a rejected refund request • A “green check-mark” depicts a successful refund

Sealing: How it worksA Sealing Moistener: • Is used to moisten the glue on the envelope and seal the flap closed. • Consists of the brush assembly, sponge assembly, and water reservoir all of which are used to moisten the glue on the envelope flaps. • Uses an envelope flap separation blade to open the envelope flap slightly. How Does A Sealing Moistener Work • Water is held in a water reservior. • Water is soaked up by the sponge. • The brush rests on the sponge and water is drawn up into the brush. • The envelope is moved into the sealer and the flap is opened slightly by the separation blade. • The flap and glue strip are drawn past the wet brush where the water moistens the glue. • The flap is pressed closed as the envelope moves through the machine and the indicia is printed. What Could Go Wrong • Water level too low. • Sponge breaks down and does not soak up water. • Brush becomes clogged with glue. • Brush does not rest properly on the sponge to draw up water. Important Maintenance • Keep fresh water in the water reservior. • Clean the Brush Assembly weekly with fresh water. • Rinse out the sponge with fresh water weekly. • Replace the brush assembly when the moistener is not moistening properly. • Replace the sponge when it begins to break down and not soak up water properly. Inserting the Sponge and Metal Grid • The sponge and metal grid are placed into the water tank of the moistener. • Water is soaked up by the sponge. Attaching The Brush • The brush attaches to the flap separator blade. • The water reservior is filled through the fill hole. • Water is drawn up by the brush from the sponge. Cleaning The brush, sponge, and grid are routine maintenance replacement parts. To Clean the Brush and Sponge: 1. Remove the moistener assembly from the moistener unit by lifting straight up. 2. Raise the brush and remove it by rotating it to the right. 3. Remove the sponge by lifting the metal grid straight up being careful not to bend the grid. 4. Remove the sponge from the metal grid. 5. Rinse the brush and sponge with fresh warm tap water. 6. Inspect the condition of the brush and sponge and replace if the brush is worn or the sponge is breaking down and not soaking up water. 7. Re-assemble the moistener assembly and insert it into the moistening unit. 8. Check operation by running an envelope through the moistener to make sure that the flap is sealed.
