The US Postal Service is contemplating the removal of mail entry at Network Distribution Centers (NDCs) and the discontinuation of the Destination NDC (DNDC) discount, aiming to shift more mail volume to SCF/LPC facilities. As part of this future approach, mailers who currently utilize NDC volume and receive the DNDC discount will have three new options: mixed pallets for Origin Entry (without a discount), a DSCF entry discount, or a DDU entry discount specifically for Carrier Route Flats.

Currently, mailers benefit from a 2.7¢ discount per piece on DSCF mail and a 2.4¢ per piece discount on DNDC letter mail. Furthermore, many industry experts anticipate a reduction in the existing SCF Work Share discount, potentially lowering it to 1.7¢ per pieces.
For now, any proposed changes to these pricing structures will require approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission.
