What is Bulk Mail?

The term "bulk mail" refers to quantities of mail prepared for mailing at reduced postage rates. Bulk mail is discounted First-Class Mail and Standard Mail. Bulk rates are discounted from "single-piece" rates. "Single-piece" means that you pay the full postage rate; when you put a 37-cent stamp on a letter, you're paying single-piece rate The Postal Service offers discounts for bulk mailings because we do some of the work that otherwise would have to be done by the Postal Service (for example, sorting the mail by ZIP Code). There are many advantages to using bulk mail. The most important advantage is that bulk postage rates are significantly lower than single-piece rates, which will save your department a lot of money.
