FAQs:

 

  • Does our machine automatically update the rates or does this need to be done manually? 

If you have a new iX Series Meter, it will automatically update the new postage rates. Just log off & log in! If you have another Quadient postage meter, you can update the rate by making a “Generic Call” from the machine to the server.

  • What is Mail Automation?

We're glad you asked! You can simplify the entire mailing process down to just a few button clicks with a folder inserter and automate your mail prep! Simply put, a folder inserter is used to speed up the folding, inserting, and delivery of important business communications, like invoices and statements. It is also used to cut down on mailing errors like sending the wrong piece of mail to a customer, especially for industries dealing with sensitive customer, client or patient information.

  • I want to start using electronic certified mail, but have no idea how to begin.

It's so easy to get started with Certified Mail. It's all done online, simple!

e-Certify is one of our most popular solutions. The best thing about e-Certify is that you can save 37% on the cost of sending Certified Mail.

Plus, our solution e-Certify is 100% USPS Compliant

  • What is presorting? Is there a minimum number for presorting?

Presorting is when you group your mail pieces by zip code before you send them in order to lower postage costs. Your postage costs are lowered because you’re helping out the Postal Service save money on their postage processing and delivery. Presort rates have a minimum of 200 pieces.
