While these changes do NOT directly affect the vast majority of our mailing projects we feel it is important to keep our clients aware of postal changes. If you have any questions regarding these changes please contact us for clarification.

Postal rates & promotions
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) announced price changes for Mailing & Shipping Services. These new rates will go into effect on January 22, 2017.
The postage price for one-ounce Metered First-Class™ Letters is dropping from 46.5 cents to 46 cents, while the postage rate for a one-ounce stamped letter is growing from 47 cents to 49 cents. This means small businesses will have a 3-cent savings on metered letters over stamped letters.
