Insured Mail
 
 
 
You have several options for adding security to the gifts and merchandise you send. Security is key when you're sending valuables through the mail. Whether you are sending jewelry, fragile items, or just expensive clothing, getting insurance provides that security for items valued at up to $5,000. Insure your package only for what its contents are worth; you're only covered for the actual value. more

Bulk Mailing Services
 
 
 
The term "bulk mail" refers to quantities of mail prepared for mailing at reduced postage rates. The Postal Service offers discounts for bulk mailings because you do some of the work that otherwise would have to be done by the Postal Service (for example, sorting the mail by ZIP Code or transporting the mail to a different postal facility). Everyone benefits from this "worksharing." Mailers make an investment in time and technology, and the Postal Service's costs are reduced and you pay less postage. more
 
 
 
Available at Eustis and at SBS Carbon Copy.
