Endicia Enhances Partnership with U.S. Postal Service®
05/19/2008
PALO ALTO, California
To improve efficiency and convenience for online shipping customers, Endicia® and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) have formed a partnership to provide key customers special access to USPS shipping services with Endicia technology. This partnership will enable high volume shippers of expedited services to be eligible for free Endicia services and shipping software solutions. This is in addition to the discounted commercial postage rates which are currently available through Endicia shipping solutions.
“The best customers of the USPS deserve the reward of Endicia’s state-of-the-art shipping solutions at no cost,” said Harry Whitehouse, Endicia Chief Development Officer. “By partnering with the USPS, we can offer a complete competitive choice for online shipping and fulfillment needs.”
Endicia is ideal for online sellers, fulfillment providers, and retailers with lightweight shipping needs--for instance, eBay sellers, jewelry dealers and resellers, clothing retailers, toy retailers and more.
More details of this exciting new program include:
- For every month that an Endicia Professional™ customer prints more than $5,000 in qualified postage they will receive a free month of Professional service.
- For every month that an Endicia Platinum Shipper™ customer prints more than $20,000 in qualified postage they will receive a free month of Platinum Shipper service.
- Customers will remain responsible for the cost of postage, extra services, and insurance fees printed from their account.
- Qualified postage is defined as postage for the following classes: Priority Mail®, Express Mail®, Priority Mail International®, Express Mail International® and Global Express Guaranteed®.
Additionally, Endicia is offering a royalty discount program for Endicia Label Server Customers. Endicia Label Server Customers are businesses that have integrated Endicia directly into their applications and websites, so they can print USPS shipping labels right from their application without installing any additional software.
Under this program, Endicia will not charge customers transaction-based royalties when using Priority Mail, Express Mail, Priority Mail International, or Express Mail International. Partners or their customers will remain responsible for the royalties on other mail classes, monthly minimums, and the cost of postage, extra services, and insurance fees.
