Effective July 14, 2024, the United States Postal Service is implementing their second postage cost update of the year. With these updates, Bank-A-Count is excited to continue passing the discounted rates we receive as a commercial print and mail company on to our customers! The 3rd ounce free program will continue for the rest of 2024, which means any mail piece weighing 3.5 ounces or less will be mailed at the 1 oz rate.
Along with the discounted presort rates and utilizing the 3rd ounce free program, Bank-A-Count will continue to offer shipping with no extra handling fees. We strive to pass on these savings to our customers.
