Can I Presort on My Own?
Absolutely! The basic premise behind presorting is simple. You are substituting doing a little more of the work that would typically occur at the post office for reduced postage rates. If your mailing consists of 500 pieces or more, you can get in on the savings. For presorted First-Class mail, savings can add up to 20%.
So, what does this “extra work” entail?
- Securing a permit
- Bundling your mail by zip code
- Placing mail in trays before it arrives at the post office
- Providing proof that your mailing list was updated within 95 days of your mail date (NCOA – National Change of Address Compliance)
- Meeting CASS Certification Standards
Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it?
