  1. How Would a Pitney Bowes Machine Help by Business?
  2. When you have your own Pitney Bowes machine at work, you can save money. How? Because having your own postage meter allows your company to access preferred rates from the United States Postal Service. Depending on the volume of mail you send, this could net you substantial savings as you save as much as $0.05 for every letter you send as up to 40% off USPS priority mail.

  3. Can I Buy a Postage Meter
  4. No. In the United States, postage is considered to be a type of currency. As a result, there are requirements to regulate it much as the government would regulate a money printing press. This is why postage meters cannot be bought by individuals or businesses.

  5. What Exactly is Metered Mail?
  6. It is postage that has been paid in advance. As a result, it does not need a postage stamp – at least not the type you would normally put on a letter. Instead, there is a stamped postage mark that proves it was paid from a postage meter. If you can’t picture it, just take a look at your mail. Anything sent from a large company is likely not to have to have a traditional postage stamp but to instead be stamped in ink.

  7. What Does it Mean to Have a Preferred Postage Rate?
  8. This is a rate that companies that have a high volume of mail get. Think of it is a bulk discount. These companies pay a few cents less for each letter they save, which can add up to a lot of savings depending on how much mail they send. Preferred rates are great for companies that send a lot of mail through the USPS. Additionally, preferred postage rates give discounts on Priority Mail as well.
