Our logistics process begins with the detailed organization of your mailing data into Mail.dat files. This step ensures every aspect of your shipment, from size and weight to destination, is accurately recorded for seamless processing and delivery.
Once your mail plan is formulated, we provide a detailed shipping estimate. This gives you a clear view of the logistical efforts and costs involved in your mailing project, laying the groundwork for efficient execution.
Your approval is paramount in our process. We ensure that every detail of the proposed freight plan meets your requirements, moving forward only when you are completely satisfied.
You're in control with our transportation portal, where you can schedule your shipments and kick-start the mailing plan. This user-friendly platform puts the power of logistics at your fingertips, ensuring your shipments are managed according to your timeline.
Our Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system takes the helm in coordinating with approved carriers. We guarantee that your materials are transported efficiently and arrive on time, every time, through our network of reliable partners.
With APS, we track every step of your shipment and confirm delivery. You’ll have access to real-time freight tracking, offering transparency and peace of mind that your materials are delivered as promised.

If you do have the NMFC number, it will make moving your product quicker and make pricing more accurate. If you don’t know your freight class or NMFC number, just provide us with a description of the material and we will assist you with obtaining the number.
For larger mailers that have several pallets of mail for multiple destination postal facilities we can consolidate the mail to control the delivery and offer better overall postal savings. Is your mailing on the smaller side? Contact us. We have cost-savings options for you too.
