Neopost, the fastest-growing worldwide provider of mailing and shipping solutions,
announces its options for customer education and support in the face of the
impending 2007 rate increase by the US Postal Service. On May 14th, 2007, the USPS
will replace the current weight-based pricing model with a more complex system
based on length, width, weight and thickness. This change will cause inefficiency in
mailing processes, higher labor costs, and up to 90 percent increases in postal costs,
unless companies are able to automate mailing operations and change the way mail
is processed.
As part of Neopost’s continued strategic partnership with its customers, the company
will offer informative Shape-Based Pricing postal workshops in 26 cities nationwide.
Experts, including USPS representatives, will be on hand to educate companies on the
impact of the rate change on businesses, as well as to provide advice on how to
control costs while increasing productivity and efficiency. For the location and contact
information of the postal workshop nearest to your business, visit http://www.neopostinc.com.
By correctly processing mail, companies may be able to actually decrease overall costs. In order to significantly reduce the cost and time associated with mailing operations, Neopost offers businesses a range of automated mailing solutions. These solutions will help businesses save money and decrease inefficiencies by reconfiguring mailings to lower cost formats, finding alternative mail carriers with the best rates for each mailing, and by taking advantage of the significant rate reductions offered for clean, formatted addresses.
Neopost’s award-winning IJ Dynamic Scale (IJ-DS) with its patented, four-point detection system provides an ideal solution to meet the requirements of USPS Shape-Based Pricing, as the unit automatically measures the length, width, thickness and weight in order to correctly classify and rate outgoing mail based on the new 2007 Postal Rates. In addition, Neopost’s Online Services offer automatic rate download for trouble-free adaptation to changing USPS rates.
In addition to its postal workshops, certified Neopost Shape-Based Pricing Consultants will be available to help businesses determine how to best prepare for this vital business change. Neopost has dedicated a portion of its website to customer support, providing explanation of the impeding rate change, and information on business solutions to combat postage increases via mail automation and Shape-Based Pricing solutions.
