\"\"Project Title:<\/strong> Marketing Mail Workshare Discounts Cost Model
\nStart Date:<\/strong> Wednesday, February 7, 2018
\nEstimated Report Release Date:<\/strong> July 2018<\/p>\n

The Postal Service offers a postage rate discount to mailers for presorting, pre-barcoding, handling, and transporting mail. These workshare discounts incentivize mailers to perform specific activities prior to dropping mail at postal facilities.<\/p>\n

These discounts allow the Postal Service to avoid some mailing costs, such as processing, transportation, and labor costs; stimulate mail volume growth; and improve service.<\/p>\n

The Postal Service\u2019s current methodology to determine workshare discounts is estimated using various operational and statistical information sources based on the actual costs incurred.<\/p>\n
