Effective January 27, 2019, the United States Postal Service is increasing the postage prices of 1 ounce mail pieces.  The 3rd ounce free program for commercial mailers will continue through 2019, which means any mail piece weighing 3.5 ounces or less will be mailed at the 1 ounce rate.

Bank-A-Count will continue to offer a discounted presort rate as well as utilizing the 3rd ounce free program.  Additionally, Bank-A-Count will offer shipping at base cost with no extra handling fees.  We strive to pass on these savings to our customers.

Please review the below chart, which details the breakdown of savings!
