Sorting for Bulk Rates

You may qualify for lower postage rates. We can sort your mail, whether it’s USA or Canada destined, and provide you with the lowest possible postage. Our software will print the required paperwork for the post office and also provide you with keeper tags to attach to your bags/trays when mailing.

Here is an explanation of what those strange codes on labels for Canadian destinations mean – the Letter Carrier Presort.

Sample: Electronic Media – Fields

Sequence #: A sequential 7 digit sequence number. It is not required that this field be printed on the output.

DM: The Delivery Mode Code. This field must appear on the printed output. Please refer to Canada Post documentation to determine its correct placement. Rural records do not have a DM code.

Audit: The 1 byte Audit Code. This field must appear on the printed output. Please refer to Canada Post documentation to determine its correct placement.

Bag/Bundle: The Bag/Bundle Code. This field should appear on the printed output to aid in the bagging stage of the mailing. It consists of a bag number followed by a slash, then a bundle number. A trailing "M" indicates there is a residue slip for that bundle. There may be asterisks "*" which lead and follow the bag/bundle code. One (1) asterisk indicates a change in bundle#, two (2) asterisks indicate a change in bag#.

Address Correction

In order to expedite your mail to its recipient, you should have the correct address information in your database.

We have software to correct and standardize U.S. and Canadian addresses. If you are mailing using a discounted rate, the post office may require that this service be performed in order to prove the correctness of the addresses being submitted to the postal system.

In addition to the postal benefits, there's the matter of matching records during duplication checking. If the address components are standardized, it will be easier to match one record to another.

Why should you care? Because better matching means less duplicates, saving you money on wasted postage, and gives your company a better image in the eyes of the recipient.

We can supply you with a listing which highlights the changes so they are easier to make at your end. Have a look.
