[WISPA] Postage

2009-01-05 Thread Travis Johnson
Hi,

I'm curious what everyone else is using for sending USPS letters and 
packages? We've had a nice postage machine (seals, stamps, etc.) that 
does our envelopes each month (about 1,500 per month). However, I'm 
getting tired of these companies (Neopost) charging $200 for a software 
update because the post office changes their pricing.

What is anyone else doing? We send about 1,500 envelopes on the 20th of 
each month, and then only a couple a day the other days.

thanks,

Travis

Emailing the invoice for the most part.  Makes things a lot easier for
everyone and it is free.

Look into having a 3rd party print, stuff ad mail your invoices - one of the
firms we have done this with does it FAR cheaper than I could (volume
postage discounts and industrial printing equipment). Basically, you upload
a digital file on billing day and they do the rest in hours

Something else you can do is use a printing co.  There should be one 
local to you.  They should be able to print, stuff and qualify for 
bulk rates.

Something else we did, we had 220 people in my subdivision, it was 92 
bucks for postage, plus envelopes, plus printing, plus paper etc.  
(non-profit subdivision here).  We had a printer sent out cards with 
the yearly dues on them, for less than 15 cents a piece including 
printing, postage and cards!

We would e-mail invoices on the 25th and reminders on the 5th. Then suspend 
service on the 20th and charge $25 to reconnect.

The other option is a payment coupon book. Only need to mail once.  You would 
be surprised how well they work

2009-01-05 Thread Brad Belton
We recently had to replace our Pitney Bowes postage machine after 10-15yrs
of service from it.  It was a good old machine.klunkdy-klunk as letters were
pushed through it.  It still worked fine, but became obsolete and longer
supported etc, etc.

 

The new Pitney Bowes machine is pretty slick and we also now have a envelope
folder/stuffer that allows us to insert fliers along with our
invoices/statements.  We only serve businesses and most of our clients
prefer a mailed statement.  Some even require it.

 

Best,

We use a couple pitney bowes machines. Ones that folds and stuffs
envelops and the other stamps and seals. 

If I had my way, I would just make everyone use credit cards.

I know some other companies that offer a $1 or so off a month if they
get automatically billed by CC.

monthly fees are nominal and works well.  As a side note we charge $2.99/mo

6mo and 12mo pre-paid customers get them for free though; email/CC free.

We charge a higher amount for business class service.  For those customers,
we will send them a paper bill for free, but only when they ask and we try
to get an email address from them.

For those customers that we charge $500-$2000 a month, we don't even ask, we
just send them a paper bill.

For residential, we ask for an email address and tell them that there's a
$2.50 charge for a paper bill.  This has been acceptable.

Platypus (Billing Company) has a service where they will print, fold, mail 
statements for $0.70 / invoice -- that includes printing, folding, stuffin, 
envelope, return envelope, perforated tear-offs and even the stamp

To me, that sounds like a smoking deal (granted, you need to use the Platypus 
system)

Look into having a 3rd party print, stuff ad mail your invoices - one of the
firms we have done this with does it FAR cheaper than I could (volume
postage discounts and industrial printing equipment). Basically, you upload
a digital file on billing day and they do the rest in hours

Hi,

I'm curious what everyone else is using for sending USPS letters and
packages? We've had a nice postage machine (seals, stamps, etc.) that
does our envelopes each month (about 1,500 per month). However, I'm
getting tired of these companies (Neopost) charging $200 for a software
update because the post office changes their pricing.

What is anyone else doing? We send about 1,500 envelopes on the 20th of
each month, and then only a couple a day the other days.

thanks,

Travis

We send out email bills.  If you want a paper one then we charge an extra 
$1.00 per month for it.  That covers the cost of licking and stamping.

We also use pre-glued stamps.  Just peal and stick.

Hope this helps,
marlon

415 a month, and $.70 or so per invoice. And if you have a merchant
account, the users can pay on line.
