Can First-Class mailers benefit from using Mail.dat?
First-Class mailers enjoy reduced paperwork and labor through Mail.dat use. Mail.dat provides a principal way to access the USPS PostalOne! program. While many recognize that Mail.dat offers significant benefits to those people mailing Standard Mail™—particularly drop-ship discounts and the ability to communicate electronically with supply chain partners—the Mail.dat file set also presents those mailing First-Class Mail™ an opportunity to exchange mailing information electronically with the Postal Service. First-Class mailers—both manifest and commingled-presort mailers—can leverage the same advantages for e-documentation and e-payment that exist for Standard and Periodical mailers.
