What is Domestic letter shipment?
Domestic letter shipment is a service for everyone who wants to send large volumes of business letters weighing up to 2 kg directly to their customers’ mailboxes. Choose First Class Mail for the fastest delivery or Economy Mail for lower postage costs.
The letter shipment service entails sending at least 500 unsorted or 5,000 sorted letters. All the letters must originate from the same sender, weigh the same (max. differential 30 grams) and be in the same format. If you sort your letters in zip code order, you pay even less postage.
To book and use the letter shipment service, you need to be one of our service agreement customers.
