Ground Advantage

For Businesses

USPS understands what's most important to our business customers: speed, affordability, security, and customer service. We help businesses provide these services and resources to your customers at discounted rates.

Note for Business Mailers: As of November 1, 2023, mailers must include a valid, unique 3-digit Service Type Code that accurately represents the mail class, product, and service combination on the physical label affixed to the package for mailing. If you fail to meet the 98 percent barcode quality threshold, you need to pay a $0.25 per-label noncompliance fee. For more information, refer to DMM section 204.2.1.8.
