$1 Billion Printed, $65 Million Saved!
We are proud to announce that over $1 Billion of postage has been printed through Endicia.
Along the way, our users have saved over $65 Million on electronic Delivery & Signature
Confirmation alone.
Users have also saved millions more using Endicia’s discounted parcel insurance
and have eliminated countless hours of work in shipment preparation and trips
to the post office.
The billionth dollar of postage was printed on October 2, 2006
by Matt Lounsbury of Stumptown
Coffee Roasters in Portland, Oregon. The company, a premium, small batch, coffee
roastery and chain of small cafes, is the recipient of this year’s Roaster of the
Year award from Roast Magazine. They were also picked Best Boutique Roasters by
Food & Wine Magazine, are listed as one of the four best coffees in the world by
National Geographic Adventure, and have received high marks from numerous local
and national publications.
Thank you for making us the #1 Internet Postage provider and
helping us reach this milestone.

HARRY'S HINTS

The Postal Service now offers Delivery Confirmation to most military (APO & FPO)
addresses. As with domestic mail, this option is free when you use
Priority Mail.
With Endicia Premium, you can also print pre-filled customs forms for your
APO/FPO shipments, completing the solution.
Addressing these shipments may be the trickiest part, but here are some simple
guidelines:
A. The first line is the recipient's full name and rank.
B.
The second line is the vessel's name for ships.
Otherwise, it is the PSC, CMR,
or UNIT number, followed by the BOX number.
C. The third (last) address line uses a City, ST ZIP format, where:
-
City is APO for Army or Air Force installations; and
FPO for Navy installations and ships.
-
ST is AA for the Americas;
AE for Europe, Canada, Africa, or the Middle East; and
AP for Asia or the Pacific.
Remember to include a return address and study the
restrictions on military mail.
