PIONEER POSTAGE SAVING TIPS Use Email and Fax correspondence when possible. Use Certified Mail instead of Registered Mail Service; Certified Mail Service costs less and still provides a receipt and delivery notice to the sender. Consider alternative methods of delivery: Parcel Post and UPS. Use postcards for short messages and announcements. They cost about 1/3 less than sending a sealed envelope. Screen your mailing list for unnecessary duplicate names and incomplete or incorrect addresses. Use Library or Book Rate when available the cost can be as much as 50% less than the First-Class rate. Do not over-insure. The U.S. Post Office and UPS will pay only the actual value of an item, not the declared value. Use Business Reply envelopes provided by vendors instead of replying with a department envelope. Combine mailings to a single destination into a larger envelope if possible.
