What is Presort Mail?

Presort Mail is USPS First Class Mail that qualifies for a lower postage rate

How does it Work?

  • By utilizing a USPS Licensed Work Share Partner such as “ABS Direct” you are able to meter your mail at a reduced Postage Rate.

  • ABS Direct and other Licensed Presort Providers are able to co-mingle this mail for the USPS qualifying it for Postage savings of 4.5 cents and more based on volume and type. This is a direct savings to you.

  • How do I get my savings? Your savings is direct on your postage/ meter machine as you are utilizing less postage each month (i.e 10,000 pieces would have a minimum savings of $450)

What would my Mailroom need to do to qualify and utilize this program?

  • Your Mailroom will function exactly as it does now except you will be placing a lower postage rate on your mail.

  • Your Mailroom staff will separate your Letter and Flat size USPS First Class Mail.

  • You will pre-set your Meter Machine to “First Class – Presort” and apply postage on your mail as you do now.

  • You will then place your Letter Size Mail in USPS Mail Trays and Flat size Mail in USPS Tubs. (ABS Direct will supply these from the USPS)

  • This mail will now be given directly to ABS Direct for processing. ABS Direct will set you up on a route for a mutually agreed upon Pick up time.

  • This mail will then be transported to ABS Directs secured USPS Processing facility.

  • It will then be verified and sorted on one of our high speed MLOCR machines to obtain barcodes. This is the same equipment as the USPS and all data/ mail is verified and monitored by the USPS daily.

  • All mail is then verified and entered into the USPS processing facility Same-Day for delivery.

How do I know if I qualify for this service?

  • Contact an ABS Direct Representative today for a meeting.

  • You can qualify for Presort Services with a minimum of (1) mail tray per day (Roughly 300-500 pieces)
