Postal Regulations Keep Changing!
MarketPlace-Solutions.com Saves Money
By Knowing Mailing Rules
New mailing rules every day
Huge changes are sweeping the Post Office. They started in May 2007 and go through 2012. It is the biggest change at the Post Office in 10 years and will have a tremendous effect on many groups and businesses. And it is not about the postage increase!
There is a reason there is an expression of "Going Postal!" That is MarketPlace-Solutions.com "job security." We deal with the post office so you don't have to. We don't want the post office to get one extra cent on your postage money!
In 2008, the Post Office started requiring National Change of Address processing on first class and standard mail lists.
The Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) will eventually become the new standard, but it has been delayed.
And what about flats (essentially large envelopes)? That change will have a major impact on the design and addressing requirements. The Post Office says this change will have a huge impact on cost savings, cutting time for mail processing and potentially eliminating many carrier routes. These rules went into effect in 2009.
Bulk mail regulations confusing
Our understanding, after talking to several postal officials, is that small mailers will soon be shut out of even being able to do bulk mailings. Churches and real estate agents will not have the $2,000 per year software necessary to certify their mail.
The post office is trying to get away from servicing the small bulk mail customers like churches and real estate agents who sort their mail manually. The want everyone to invest in the "PAVE Certified" software that needs to be updated 6 times a year!
MarketPlace-Solutions.com will stay current and and learn a new set of acronyms.
