Question 1

What is presort mail and how does it save money?

Accepted Answer

Presort mail is a USPS program that gives businesses postage discounts in exchange for sorting their mail by ZIP code before delivery to the post office. By doing the sorting work for USPS, mailers qualify for automation discounts of 10–30% off standard postage rates. Mail Movers handles all presort processing in-house.

Question 2

What types of mail qualify for presort discounts?

Accepted Answer

First-Class Mail, Marketing Mail (formerly Standard Mail), and Nonprofit Mail all qualify for presort discounts. The discount level depends on the sort level achieved: 5-digit, 3-digit, AADC, or mixed AADC. Carrier route presort offers the deepest discounts.

Question 3

What is commingling and how does it help?

Accepted Answer

Commingling combines your mail with other mailers' pieces to achieve higher sort levels and deeper postage discounts than you could reach alone. Mail Movers commingles mail from multiple clients to maximize savings for everyone, especially for smaller volume mailers who can't reach 5-digit sort thresholds on their own.
