Introduction

From desktop to doorstep, the Postal Service offers several online services that combine the speed of the Internet with the effectiveness of traditional mail. Online services allow you to select or design a mailpiece and enter addresses or upload an address list. Your mailpieces are printed, prepared, and delivered in as few as one or two days.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
NetPost Mailing Online services allow customers to submit electronic documents and mailing lists via the Postal Service Web site. The Postal Service sends those files to a contract printer, who prints the items and enters them into the mail.

From your computer you can create or choose from an array of postcards or greeting cards, or you can upload files you’ve created for letters, flyers, booklets, or self-mailers. The Postal Service helps you send them to everyone on your mailing list after you create or select the design. You can upload your address list or type in the addresses manually. NetPost services are securely transmitted to the print site closest to the recipients’ addresses. The documents are then printed, addressed, stamped, and transported to the Post Office for processing and delivery.

COST
Prices depend on the postage, production, and features you choose. Postage discounts are available with many NetPost services.

ONLINE SERVICES
Online Services provide convenient alternatives for mailing at retail and discount rates.
