Postage Meter Bulk Mailing Tips & Notes
Here are a few tips to help you use your postage meter to send bulk mail. You will find even more useful tips in Business Mail 101.

Some mailers meter all their pieces at the lowest rate they qualify for and then pay the difference when they bring their mail to a Post Office. When using this method, you may meter your mail only at the lowest of the rates you qualify for.

When preparing your mail, use the “postage affixed” postage statement--because you’ve already put some postage (but maybe not all of it) on your mailpiece.

After you fill out your postage statement, you’ll know how much postage (if any) you still owe. You can pay the difference with a meter stamp affixed to your postage statement or through an advance deposit account.

Metered presorted and discount-rate mail must be brought to the Post Office where you hold your permit for discount-rate or presorted mail. Metered presorted and discount-rate mail cannot be dropped in the collection box or given to a carrier.
