Mailing Services
We can take care of your postcard mailing for you!
The PostcardManiacs say that once you understand mailing services you will find them to be a 'no-brainer'.
We can mail your postcards and save you money on the postage, which will make our postcard mailing services just about free.
Please keep reading.
What it will cost you to do it yourself.
Normally your postage for a 4.25" x 6" postcard is 26 cents.
That is the maximum size for the 26 cent rate.
If we do the postcard mailing for you, the postage will be anywhere from 19.1 cents to 22 cents per piece.
Why?
Well, we lease a special software package from the U.S. Post Office that reads the addresses and assigns each a barcode. This software also removes all the addresses it recognizes as undeliverable so that you don't pay postage for cards that will inevitably be returned because of a bad address. The Post Office gives us a discount because we have invested in automation. Our software is updated every three months and of course, people do move and businesses do go under, so there will still be a few bad addresses and postcards returned.
What you will save if we do it for you
We charge you 4 cents per piece to inkjet the addresses onto your postcards. This price covers the contact name, address and the presort barcode and you save approximately 4 cents per card on postage because of our presorting process. That means virtually no extra cost for you to let us do it for you, and sometimes it even costs you less. You are saving time, shipping charges, the cost of labels and the cost of manual labor to adhere the labels.
* Charge may be slightly more on our 6"x11" Colossal Postcards
See why we call it a no-brainer?
There are many rules and regulations in this postcard mailing game and the post office changes them constantly. So, although the concept is a definite 'no-brainer' the entire subject is definitely not.
Additional info can also be printed on the card at the time of addressing for a slight additional charge. Ask your sales rep for details.
