Determining the Amount of Postage to Use
The amount of postage on a mail piece is based on USPS regulations
and involves factors such as:
• class of mail
• weight
• shape (for certain size letters and all packages)
• how fast you want the mail piece delivered
If you have purchased the optional internal rating feature, the
machine can make the process much easier as it calculates the postage
automatically for most mail pieces based on the choices you select
(weight, class, etc). In addition, if you have purchased the optional scale,
the weight of the mail piece can be used by the machine's internal rating
feature to further streamline the postage calculation process.
If you need to manually calculate the postage, please contact your local
Post Office or go to
www.usps.com
for the latest rates and fees.
Optional Add-On USPS Services
If you want to use any of the optional add-on USPS Services (such as
insurance, COD, Delivery Confirmation, Signature Confirmation, Return
Receipt, etc.), please contact your local Post Office to complete the
postage process. You will have to attach specific labels and/or fill out
forms and pay additional fees to include these services on your mail
piece.
