Parcels: Ways to Pay Postage
After choosing to ship with the U.S. Postal Service® for its quality service and
affordability, businesses must select a method of postage payment that best meets
their needs. Postage payment options include: stamp, postage meter, PC Postage®
(Internet postage), and permit imprint.
Stamps, meter strips, and PC Postage are all ‘live’ postage payment methods that
require prepayment. That is, you pay the postage for your shipment when you buy
your stamps,
‘fill’ your meter
machine, or print PC Postage. Postage has already been paid when you print
or affix any of these payment options to your package. As a result, mistakes in
package preparation become more costly—when stamps are lost or stolen, changes need
to be made to a shipment after meter strips have been applied, or a package with
PC Postage must be held for shipment another day, you incur an expense that is hard
to recoup.
