Faster Than Buying a Stamp: And Delivered Quicker Too. How the US Post Office Will Deliver Your First-Class Documents Faster

OK, you probably already know that printing your own documents, stuffing and weighing them, purchasing online stamps and having to drop them in a mail box is not the best use of your time. Especially when it only takes a few minutes to upload the same documents to an on-demand mailroom like DocuSend, a service that prints and mails them within two business days. But did you know that the United States Post Office will actually deliver them faster when you upload to DocuSend?

That’s because all your letter size mail pieces are processed through a rigorous postal automation system that adds an Intelligent Mail barcode (IMb) to each qualifying address. The completed documents are submitted to a postal acceptance facility and verified with the required USPS documentation. That allows the documents to be immediately entered into the USPS’s highest level of barcode scanning equipment in the world. On the other hand, if you use the online stamp method and mail it yourself, the Post Office must complete all of the steps DocuSend would have already completed for you. And while postal workers are doing that, DocuSend’s mail is already making its way way to your recipients.

Here’s just a few of the advantages DocuSend users enjoy:

Faster delivery
Elimination of printing, folding, stuffing, stamping
Mail Trail– tracks your documents through the USPS system
Cuts the cost of mailing internally in half
No hidden fees, contracts, volume requirements
Creates more time to grow your business

So, DocuSend is not only faster than buying a stamp, it also helps the USPS deliver it faster.
