New Year, New Postage Pricing
Thursday, Jan 19, 2017
Bank-A-Count is excited to continue passing the commercial rates on to you! New Year, New Postage Pricing. Effective January 22, 2017, USPS is increasing the prices of the 1 ounce mailings. USPS is also expanding the 2nd ounce free program to include up to 3.5 ounces for presorted letter commercial mail. This program allows you to send out mail weighing 3.5 ounces for the price of 1 just ounce.
When outsourcing through Bank-A-Count, you will receive a discounted presort rate, and the 3.5 ounce free program! Bank-A-Count will continue to offer shipping at base cost with no extra handling fees. In some cases it will be a small increase, but overall sending letters over 3.5 ounces will be a net savings.
Here is the breakdown of the savings! Effective 1/22/17
