What is the new NFM category?

We created the category for pieces that today qualify as automation flats by virtue of the UFSM1000 guidelines (see Quick Service Guide 301a). Many of these pieces are actually handled as parcels. Since such pieces do not meet the processing specifications of the AFSM100s for flats, they will no longer qualify as automation flats under the proposal. Generally, this means that rigid pieces less than 0.75″ thick, as well as most rectangular pieces of uniform thickness between 0.75″ and 1.25″, are eligible for NFM prices.
