Using a meter gets you the discount on postage, which really adds up annually. Going to the post office is costing you time and money. If you need a meter, order now and receive a special offer for new Quadient customers!
Metered postage rates for First-Class letters went up 3 cents per letter to 63 cents. There's still good news for meter users. You get the metered discount but now you save 5% on every mail piece.
It's more important than ever to make sure all of your postage is updated regularly. Rates can change once or twice each year, and even seasonally. With our newest iX meters, postage rates are updated for you AUTOMATICALLY!
The Certified Mail fee increased an additional 15 cents per mail piece, while Return Receipt increased by 10 cents. The cost of a hard-copy receipt will also cost a lot more now. The silver lining: With an electronic Return Receipt, you’ll save $1.28 on every Certified Mail piece.
We highly recommend using electronic Return Receipt. You can upgrade your entire process with a digital workflow and save nearly 38% when you send Certified Mail with Return Receipt and 16% on all Certified Mail costs immediately with an online solution like e-Certify.
With the right mail volume, you can take advantage of the USPS presort discounts. First-Class presorted postage increased nearly 3 cents, but sorting invoices, bills and statements by zip code is still advantageous and cost-effective. Now might be the time to make it part of your mail prep process.
You can get access to postage discounts with presort prices using our mail automation software Impress®.
Postage rates didn't roll back from the higher prices during peak holiday shipping season. So pricing for Priority Mail and other shipments are still higher year over year. Here's a list of the rate increases that impact these services in 2023:
