What Is Presort Mail?
When you drop a letter at the post office, USPS has to sort it — by ZIP code, carrier route, and delivery sequence — before it can be delivered. That sorting costs money. If you do that work before handing the mail to USPS, they reward you with a postage discount. That's presort mail.
The USPS requires minimum volumes to qualify for presort rates: 500 pieces for First-Class Mail and 200 pieces for Marketing Mail. Most small and mid-size businesses don't hit those thresholds on their own — which is where commingling comes in.
Mail Movers combines your mail with other customers' mail to reach the required thresholds, then passes the savings back to you. The result: you get bulk postage rates even if you're only mailing a few hundred pieces per month.
Our MLOCR sorting equipment processes thousands of mail pieces per hour, applying USPS-compliant barcodes and sorting to carrier-route level.

USPS class, content, piece specifications, preparation, entry, and current standards must be reviewed before pricing or eligibility is confirmed.
USPS Mail-Class Preparation Review
Review factors for mail-class preparation and nonprofit authorization. USPS determines eligibility, adjustments, and postage for the specific mailing.
| Mail Class | Retail Rate | Presort Auto | Presort Non-Auto | Nonprofit Auto | Conditions | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First-Class Mail — Letters | Project-specific quote | Preparation review | Preparation review | N/A | Conditions vary | USPS service standards apply |
| First-Class Mail — Postcards | Project-specific quote | Preparation review | Preparation review | Authorization review where applicable | Conditions vary | USPS service standards apply |
| Marketing Mail — Letters | N/A | Eligibility review | Eligibility review | Authorization review where applicable | Conditions vary | USPS service standards apply |
| Marketing Mail — Flats | N/A | Eligibility review | Eligibility review | Authorization review where applicable | Conditions vary | USPS service standards apply |
| Nonprofit Marketing Mail — Letters | N/A | Eligibility review | Eligibility review | USPS authorization required | Conditions vary | USPS service standards apply |
USPS rate example: $0.260 per piece is the Notice 123 EDDM-Retail rate effective October 4, 2026 for qualifying flats up to 3.3 ounces. EDDM-Retail also has USPS saturation, simplified-address, content, quantity, and entry requirements. USPS Notice 123 figures effective October 4, 2026. These Notice 123 figures are current for the USPS time-limited price period; confirm the then-effective USPS price list and mailing eligibility for any quote or mailing dated on or after January 18, 2027. View USPS Notice 123 and current price-change information before relying on a rate.
How Our Presort Process Works
From pickup to USPS entry — everything handled by our team in Salisbury, MD.
1
Daily Presort Pickup for Salisbury and Delmarva Businesses
We offer scheduled daily pickup for presort customers in Wicomico County MD, Worcester County MD, and Sussex County DE — including Salisbury, Ocean City, Berlin, Pocomoke City, Seaford, and Georgetown.

We accept sealed, addressed pieces or raw data files for printing and addressing.

CASS Certification & IMb Barcoding
We run every address through CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) to standardize and verify deliverability. IMb is the Intelligent Mail barcode for cards, letters, and flats; IMpb is the distinct barcode used for packages. Full-Service requirements are reviewed against current USPS standards.
3
Sort & Commingle
Your mail is sorted to the level supported by its class and preparation and may be commingled with other qualifying mail. USPS conditions determine sortation, eligibility, and any applicable adjustment.
4
USPS Electronic Documentation
We generate and submit all required USPS electronic documentation — eDoc, postage statements, and qualification reports — through the USPS Business Customer Gateway. Applicable electronic documentation is prepared when required; USPS acceptance remains subject to current standards.
5
Entry & Drop-Ship
We review eligible USPS entry options based on the mailing's class, preparation, volume, and current USPS conditions. For suitable mailings, we can coordinate drop-ship transportation.

Drop-Ship Entry: Eligibility Review for Qualifying Mail

| Entry Point | Additional Discount |
|---|---|
| Origin (local BMC) | Baseline |
| Destination SCF | USPS conditions apply |
| Destination NDC | USPS conditions apply |
