Larger, thicker envelopes, small and large packages, boxes, and mailing tubes containing gifts and merchandise may be sent by "parcel post", a slower and less expensive option than Priority or First Class. Rates are based on distance, weight and shape and cannot exceed 70 pounds or 130 inches in combined length and girth. An additional "surcharge" may be applied to some items over 35 pounds (25 pounds for books and printed matter) amd certain shapes (longer tubes, rolls, and very large packages).
A standard mailing or "bulk mailing" offers discounted rates for mailings exceeding 200 identical pieces. Many university departments and offices utilize this option for cost savings. An address list must be supplied for direct printing onto the mail pieces via the mail sorting software. Although there are fees for these services, it is usuall still less expensive than first class rates. There are some qualifications and restrictions, so please contact the Drop Zone manager.
