Express Mail

What are the most significant changes for Express Mail?

Except for the flat-rate envelope, Express Mail prices will be zoned, which is consistent with standard industry practices. Zone pricing allows us to reduce prices for those items shipped locally up to Zone 3.

We also have Express Mail commercial base prices that are 3 percent below retail prices. Commercial base prices apply to:

• Customers who use an Express Mail Corporate Account (EMCA), including Express Mail Manifest (EMM) users, and Federal Agency Accounts.

• Click-N-Ship customers.

• Registered end-users of PC Postage.

In addition, we’re adding commercial volume prices in the form of quarterly rebates based on volume thresholds for customers who pay postage through an EMCA or Federal Agency Account and registered end-users of PC Postage products.

Where can I find Express Mail commercial base prices?

Unlike Priority Mail, there is no separate price chart. Except for the flat-rate envelope, all commercial base Express Mail prices are a 3 percent reduction off the retail price list. Commercial base pricing will be built in the authorized postage payment system.

Is the flat-rate envelope eligible for commercial price incentives?

Yes. The Express Mail Flat Rate Envelope commercial base price will be $16 — 50 cents lower than the $16.50 retail price.
