How It Works

Bulk mail services maximize your postage savings through USPS presort discounts. We process your mailing list through NCOA (National Change of Address) and CASS certification to update addresses and verify deliverability—reducing waste from bad addresses. Then we presort mail by ZIP code and carrier route to qualify for the deepest discounts. Mail is bundled, trayed, and delivered to USPS according to their specifications. For large campaigns, we coordinate multi-drop shipping to regional postal facilities, reducing transit time and delivery spread. You receive reports showing piece counts, postage costs, and delivery estimates.

Why Choose MCI

Postage is often the biggest cost in direct mail campaigns—presort savings of 30-50% versus First Class make a real difference. MCI's mailing department handles millions of pieces annually, and we know USPS regulations inside and out. We catch list problems before they waste postage, optimize mail for the best rates, and ensure USPS acceptance without delays. When timing matters—like hitting mailboxes before an event or deadline—our postal logistics expertise keeps you on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save with bulk mail presort?
Savings depend on list size, mail piece specs, and how well your list pre-sorts. Typical savings range from $0.15-0.30 per piece compared to First Class rates. A 10,000 piece mailing might save $1,500-3,000. We provide exact postage quotes before production.
What is NCOA processing?
NCOA (National Change of Address) checks your mailing list against USPS move records from the past 48 months. Addresses for people who've moved are updated automatically. This improves deliverability and is required by USPS for bulk mail automation rates.
What is the minimum quantity for bulk mail rates?
USPS Marketing Mail (bulk rate) requires at least 200 pieces for cards or 500 pieces for letters. However, postage savings improve significantly with larger quantities—presort discounts require enough pieces to fill trays and bundles. Lists under 2,500 may see limited savings.
How long does bulk mail delivery take?
USPS Marketing Mail typically delivers in 3-10 business days, with most pieces arriving in 5-7 days. Delivery timing is less predictable than First Class. We can coordinate drop schedules and multi-point entry to tighten delivery windows for time-sensitive campaigns.
