Get Documented Postage Savings

Mail Services can process your mail for automation compatibility. Per piece savings can be as much as 4.5¢ for postage and as much as 15.3¢ for processing as illustrated in the example below. Your costs will be itemized by job on your Service Unit Billing.

The following illustration shows possible savings by comparing costs for a 1 oz. letter including addressing, applying an indicia, sorting, and delivering to the US Post Office:

Postal Savings Using First Class Mail

Single Piece First Class Rate 48¢ each

Maximum Automated First Class rate (requires 500 pieces)

43.5¢ each
Savings (9.4%) 4.5¢ each

Processing

Estimated departmental labor to apply printed address labels
and sort by hand

20.0¢ each

Mail Services automation processing fee

4.7¢ each
Savings (77%) 15.3¢ each

Even greater savings can be realized by using the automation postal rate for nonprofit mail which is 14.3¢, a savings of 70% compared to manually processed First Class mail.
