Planning A Project

Top Ten Postal Savings' Tips

1. Screen your mailing list for unnecessary names and incomplete or incorrect addresses.
2. Use Certified mail instead of Registered mail when possible. The Certified service costs less and still provides a receipt and delivery notice to the sender.
3. Do not over-insure. the US Postal Service and UPS will pay only the actual value of an item, not the declared item.
4. Use postcards for short messages and announcements. The cost is 1/3 less then sending an envelope.
5. Combine mailings to a single destination into a larger envelope if possible.
6. Consider alternative methods of delivery: Bulk Mail, Parcel Post & Non Profit.
7. Eliminate Intra-campus envelopes. Fold memos, staple and address correctly for campus delivery or use e-mail.
8. Use Business Reply envelopes provided by vendors instead of replying with a department envelope.
9. FAX the information, if possible, when time is crucial instead of using Express mail.
10. Use Library or Book Rate when possible. The cost can be as much as 50% less than the 1st Class or Priority Mail rates.
