Sorting Your Mail

Once your mailpiece has been designed, printed, and addressed, you’re ready to sort your mail.

There are four major steps:

  1. Get supplies[1].
  1. Sort the mail[2].
  1. Prepare the containers of mail[3].
  1. Fill out a postage statement[4].

When you are finished with these steps you’ll be ready to go to Business Mail Entry unit[5] to drop off your mailing.

TIP
--Remember, you cannot mix international mail into your domestic bulk mailings.
