• Do I Need a Specific Amount of Space for the Addressing Area on My Mailing Piece?
Yes. The Post Office requires an area no smaller than 4" wide and 2" tall starting from the bottom right panel of your mail piece. It can be a good idea to show us a sample of your proposed mailing piece before going to press. We can make sure all the postal requirements are met. You may use this 4"x 6" template as a point of reference.
• Is Postage Included in the Mailing Service Cost?
No. Postage is a separate cost that is paid directly to the Post Office.
• What is an Indicia?
An indicia is the text (usually set in a square on the upper right hand corner of a mail piece) that indicates postage has been pre-paid. It shows the class of mail, permit number and city where the mailing was delivered.
• What Determines My Postage Cost?
Postage cost can be determined by many factors but generally it's determined by the class of mail and the locations of your mailing list recepients. The more mail you have going to one area, the better your postage rates will be. Scattered locations with fewer recepients per area means higher postage rates.
• Can I Use My Own Permit?
Yes, as long as we are able to deliver to the Post Office of origin (this may result in additional delivery fees) or you may have made your own alternative plans for delivery.
• What Types of Files are Acceptable for a Mailing List?
We accept - .xls .csv .txt .dbf
• Does Able Mailing Make Profit on Postage?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. All postage payments go directly to the Post Office. We know that postage makes up most of the mailing cost which is why we do our best to ensure your campaign qualifies for the lowest postage rates possible.
• What Happens to Left Over Mailers that are Not Mailed Out?
You are more than welcome to pick up any remainders or we can ship them to you for a fee.

• How Does the Post Office Varify My Mailing?
The Post Office vaifies mailing piece counts by weight. It is important that all your mailing pieces are identical in size and weight to ensure we have an accurate total piece count. Variants in weight and size will change the final totals calculated by the Post Office and can result in additional postage costs.
• Are You Able to Merge Multiple Mailing Lists?
Yes. Our data processing service includes up to 4 mailing lists we can merge for you. More than 4 lists will result in an extra fee that is hourly based.
