We are strictly a mailing service. We do what we know best and that is prepare mail for USPS acceptance. We collate, fold, insert, staple, seal envelopes, tab seal, inkjet addresses, apply indicias, apply return addresses, apply ad-lines, bundle, sort, tie and take to post office for mailing.

Fax your changes to 949-552-9016 or e-mail them to us here. It is imperative that all faxed sheets and emails have your name and telephone number or email address on them so that changes can be processed.

Please see this post on the main page for a few of the more commonly used rates. All mail returned for “Return Service Requested” which is subject to a surcharge. A full list of the rates and fees may be found at the USPS site.

For further information, or to clarify what your mailing piece might cost, please call us at  949-552-5450.

Post Office delivery of Presorted Standard (Bulk Mail) varies because of several variables: volume of mail in the stream, election mail (takes priority over all other mail), and certain holidays such as Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and Christmas which increase the volume of mail significantly. Also, some destination post offices are faster about processing presorted standard than others. Deliveries into the Palm Springs area are infamously slow. So are deliveries into Laguna Beach. Presorted standard across the country can and often does take 3 to 4 weeks. Locally, carrier-routed mail can take anywhere from 3 to 10 days. Presorted standard is basically untraceable. The post office will only confirm its time of exit from its original mailing site. Automation is the fastest form of presorted standard mail. In the local area, it will generally be delivered within 3 to 5 days.

Presorted first class mail, on the other hand, should be delivered locally in 1 to 3 days. Across the country, it should be delivered within 2 to 5 days. First class mailings are traceable. If one disappears, the post office will work diligently to try to find what happened to it. If it is not delivered in a “timely” manner, then there is also recourse.

No, you will lose postage discounts and optimum USPS delivery time unless your mail is dropped at your local post office.
