Business mailers who send mail using Priority Mail® or Express Mail® service may be eligible for discounts off of the retail rates. And as of April 17, 2011, the USPS also offers Commercial Pricing for qualifying First Class Mail® parcels, which are now considered First-Class™ Package Service parcels. Pitney Bowes customers may already have the means to qualify for Commercial Base Pricing using their digital mailing system.

Commercial Base Pricing. There are no volume requirements (other than normal permit imprint or presort requirements, if applicable). Eligibility is based primarily on how you prepare your shipments. These reduced rates are available for customers who use Click-N-Ship®, PC Postage® products, permit imprints, or digital mailing systems that generate an IBI (Information Based Indicia) and submit data electronically to the USPS.

Commercial Plus Pricing. Eligibility is based primarily on your shipping volume.

  • Priority Mail®: 75,000 pieces in prior year
  • Express Mail®: 5,000 pieces in previous four quarters
  • First-Class Mail™ Package Service Parcels: agreement to mail more than 5,000 pieces in a calendar year. (The First-Class ™ Package Service commercial plus parcels category is designed for machinable parcels that weigh over 13 ounces but less than 16 ounces.)


In lieu of past volume, you could also complete a customer commitment agreement.

Please refer to the Domestic Mail Manual for specific requirements.
