423 Prices and Eligibility

1.0 Priority Mail Commercial Base Prices and Fees

1.1 Price Application

Except under 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, Priority Mail prices are charged per pound; any fraction of a pound is rounded up to the next whole pound. For example, if a piece weighs 1.2 pounds, the weight (postage) increment is 2 pounds. The minimum postage amount per addressed piece is the 1-pound price. The Priority Mail price up to 1 pound is based on weight only; prices for pieces weighing more than 1 pound are based on weight and zone. See Exhibit 1.1, Priority Mail Commercial Prices.

1.1.1 Availability

[10-9-08] [7-3-08] The commercial base prices are available for:

a. Click-N-Ship customers.

b. Registered end-users of PC Postage products when using a shipping label (e.g. Stamps.com, endicia, Pitney Bowes).

c. Customers using permit imprint when a postal routing barcode matching the destination ZIP Code is on the mailpiece (see 708.5.0). Flat-shaped mailpieces (see 301.1.1) with permit imprints may bear a POSTNET or Intelligent Mail barcode (see 708.4.0) instead of the postal routing barcode.

d. Priority Mail Open and Distribute customers using permit imprint when a Service barcode containing a unique service type code 55 is on the address label under 705.16.5.7.
