New Postal Rates Kick In Monday
By Mark Hrywna | May 8, 2009

New postal rates scheduled to take effect Monday will increase by an average of almost 4 percent but spike much higher for nonprofits mailing parcels and Non-Flat Machinables (NFM).

An analysis by the Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers (ANM) indicates the overall average increase for nonprofit Standard Parcels to be almost 40 percent, said Executive Director Tony Conway. The increases range within the classes, depending on what point in the mail stream it’s entered. Conway said rates are designed to encourage more work by mailers before they dump mail into the system.
