Enjoy up-front price incentives for qualifying shippers using USPS overnight and 2-3 day expedited services.

The Opportunity
With even lower average increases in the Commercial Base and Commercial Plus categories, business shippers can save even more off of the retail rates.

Smart Mailstream Practices
As a Pitney Bowes customer, you may already have the means to qualify for commercial pricing.

Commercial Base Pricing. There are no volume requirements. 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). If your IBI postage meter does not electronically transmit data to the USPS, you must also generate an approved shipping label that includes a confirmation services barcode with a postal routing code.

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

Effective 1/26/14

Priority Mail® Commercial Plus : 50,000 pieces in prior year

Priority Mail Express TM :

5,000 pieces in previous four quarters
In lieu of past volume, you could also complete a customer commitment agreement.

Please refer to the
USPS Domestic Mail Manual for specific requirements.
