Commercial mailers with USPS who send mail using Priority Mail®, Priority Mail Express® or First-Class™ Package Service may be eligible for the following types of discounts off of the retail rates:

•Commercial Base Pricing

•Commercial Plus Pricing

Parcel supports these pricing types. Parcel also supports Commercial Plus cubic pricing, which is a USPS pricing method based on a combination of mailpiece cubic measurement and zone. See the USPS Domestic Mail Manual for detailed requirements. Also see the topic Commercial Plus Cubic Rating. See the following Help topic: Commercial Plus Cubic Pricing.

Commercial Base Pricing

For this type of Commercial pricing , USPS imposes no shipping volume requirements and no additional requirements other than permit imprint or pre-sort requirements, if applicable. Eligibility is based on how customers prepare shipments. Commercial Base pricing is available for customers who use permit imprints or digital mailing systems that generate an Information Based Indicia (IBI) and submit data electronically to USPS.

Commercial Plus Pricing

Eligibility is based primarily on shipping volume as follows:

•Priority Mail®: 75,000 pieces or more in prior year.

•Priority Mail Express®: 5,000 pieces or more in previous four quarters.

•First-Class Mail™ Package Service Parcels: agreement to mail more than 5,000 pieces in a calendar year. (The First-Class™ Package Service commercial plus parcels category is designed for machinable parcels that weigh less than 16 ounces.)

Notes:

•USPS determines eligibility for Commercial Plus pricing as follows:
- Based on past shipping volume.
- Customer commitment to ship a certain volume.

•Discounts under this program are automatically displayed if the appropriate pricing type has been configured for the Commercial Plus permit number. For information on configuring Commercial Pricing with Parcel, see the following Help topic: US Postal Service - Shipper Defaults - Rating Options Tab.
