Rate Change

Next projected USPS rate increase: Spring 2007. Visit the USPS website for more information.

Most users of mailing systems and equipment from MMSS operate one or more electronic postal scales to help determine rates for mailing, shipping and special services. These are convenient devices that improve mailing accuracy and efficiency. Current USPS rates and services are either contained in rate chips that are installed in the scale or smart cards that allow for electronic transfer to your mailing system software.

When the US Postal Service or other carriers change their rates, MMSS makes certain that impacted customers receive the proper rate chip, card or disk prior to the effective date for a quick and simple update solution.

MMSS notifies ALL of its electronic scale clients well in advance via the mail (cover letter and a fax/mail back order form). If we do not receive a response, MMSS does attempt to contact those customers by phone to make sure the proper order is placed. Unlike our competitors, we do not assume you want the update, send you the chip and charge your account.

Many MMSS customers are covered by Rate Change Protection and/or Software Advantage. These customers are also notified by mail; however, no response is required – we will automatically send the update to you.

Whether this is a chargeable event for your organization or not, if you DO NOT receive correspondence from Midwest Mailing & Shipping Systems, you should contact us right away to discuss your options.

Additional rate change information is also available from Neopost.
