POSTAGE ESTIMATOR
HOW MUCH WILL MY MAILING COST IN POSTAGE?
The only way to get the exact postage for your mailing is to process your list. The USPS has varying rates for mailings, based on what type of classification it is (ie card, letter, flat), how far the mailers travel and how condensed your mailing area is. You can use this handy chart to give you a close idea of what to expect per piece.
