General Information

This version of Postage $aver has been updated to take into account the postal reclassification order effective July 1, 1996.

Postage $aver sorts one or more data files according to U.S. postal service (USPS) requirements for standard (A) bulk mail. Postage $aver produces a complete report showing the composition of all mail packages and mail sacks, and the piece counts and postage totals necessary for completing post office bulk mailing statements. Postage $aver can also create an output file containing sort keys by sack and package, along with postal endorsement lines for printing on address labels or envelopes.

Postage $avers sort routine exceeds USPS requirements, to help your mail move faster, and Postage $aver calculates USPS "entry discounts", so you save additional money.

Postage $aver also automatically rejects and lists any zip codes that are not in proper five-digit or nine-digit form, or which are not on the USPS chart of valid three-digit zip code areas. At the user's option, each zip code will also be checked against its state, and in many cases, its city, to insure accurate addressing.

Postage $aver comes in two versions: Postage $aver Lite, for basic presorting, and Postage $aver Pro, which includes routines to sort mail to take advantage of discounts for barcoding.

This shareware version of Postage $aver is a full-featured version of Postage $aver Lite. It can be upgraded to Postage $aver Pro by choosing Postage $aver Pro when you register your copy of Postage $aver. The  registration number you will receive will unlock all of the features of Postage $aver Pro.

Or, if you do not need the additional features, save money by choosing Postage $aver Lite when you register.  Youll still receive all updates to stay in compliance with postal sorting requirements, and full tech support!

Note: Throughout this help file, there will be references to "Standard (A) bulk mail". This is a new term that the postal service has adopted to replace what used to be called "third-class bulk mail."


What Kind of Mail Can Postage $aver Sort?

Postage $aver is designed to sort mail that:

 is classified as standard (A) (formerly 3rd class) bulk mail,

 fits the "letter" or "flat" mail categories,

 is not mailed at carrier route or walk sequence rates.

Postage $aver can sort a maximum of 16,000 addresses at one time, from as many as 50 different files.

Postage $aver is available in two versions: Postage $aver Lite and Postage $aver Pro.  Postage $aver Lite prepares mail for nonautomation bulk rates. This shareware version is a fully-functional copy of Postage $aver Lite.

Postage $aver Pro allows you to sort mail to take advantage of discounts for barcoding. Postage $aver Pro also includes special sorting routines for sacked mail that is heavier than 1.92 ounces, which cannot be sorted using Postage $aver Lite.

When you register your copy of Postage $aver, you can upgrade automatically to Postage $aver Pro simply by paying the corresponding registration fee and entering the registration number we send you.

Or, if you dont need to take advantage of barcoding discounts, and you dont have sacked mail pieces over 1.92 ounces, save money by choosing Postage $aver Lite when you register.  Youll still get all updates and full tech support.

We can also provide special Postage $aver files for mail that fits "machinable parcel" or "irregular parcel" mail categories. Please contact us for pricing if you regularly send such pieces by standard (A) bulk mail and would like to use Postage $aver to sort these mailings.


Mail Type Settings

Select Type of Mailing: Postage $aver looks at these buttons to determine how to sort your mail and what rates to use when computing your postage costs. Most mailers use so-called "regular" rates. However, many non-profit organizations are eligible to use non-profit rates. You must apply and be approved by the USPS before using special nonprofit rates. Ask for USPS Form 3624 to apply for permission to use nonprofit rates. Postage $aver can sort six different types of Standard (A) bulk mail:

Regular Nonautomation: letters and flats that do not contain barcodes, mailed at regular rates. See M610(2.0), Domestic Mail Manual.

Regular Upgradable: letters mailed at regular rates that do not contain barcodes, but meet automation requirements in all other ways.  No additional discount is provided beyond that for regular nonautomation letters, but  your mail may move faster if it is sorted in this manner and meets all other requirements. See M610(4.0), Domestic Mail Manual.

Regular Automation (requires upgrade to Postage $aver Pro): letters and flats mailed at regular rates that meet USPS requirements for automated processing. See M810 (letters) or M820 (flats), Domestic Mail Manual.

Nonprofit Nonautomation Sacks: letters and flats that do not contain barcodes, mailed at nonprofit rates. This is the "old way" of preparing bulk mail that most small mailers are familiar with. While it continues to be an acceptable method for nonprofit mailers, it is expected to be phased out shortly. Mailers should begin to use the Nonprofit Nonautomation Trays method for letter-sized mailing whenever possible. See M692, Domestic Mail Manual.

Nonprofit Nonautomation Trays: letters mailed at nonprofit rates that do not contain barcodes, mailed at nonprofit rates. This method is identical to the Regular Nonautomation method, except that nonprofit rates apply. Mailers must make sure that all requirements regarding the accuracy of mailing lists are met if using this method. If your mail does not meet the accuracy standards for regular nonautomation mail, you must continue to use the Nonprofit Nonautomation Sacks method as long as that method is allowed by the USPS. Be aware that you will soon need to meet the same requirements as regular mailers. See E639(1.2) and M610(2.0), Domestic Mail Manual.

Nonprofit Barcoded (requires upgrade to Postage $aver Pro): letters and flats mailed at nonprofit rates that are properly barcoded.  Postage $aver uses the optional "regular automation" method of sorting this mail, anticipating that nonprofit mailers will soon be required to use this method. Mailers must make sure that all requirements regarding the accuracy of mailing lists are met if using this method. See E649(2.3) and M810 (letters) or M820 (flats), Domestic Mail Manual.

Note: Postage $aver does not support Nonprofit Zip+4 Non-barcoded mailings. There is very little difference in postage rates between this classification and Nonprofit Nonautomation, and we expect this classification to be discontinued in the near future.

Letter/Flat: Postage $aver looks at these buttons to determine how to sort your mail and what rates to use when computing your postage costs. This classification is determined strictly by the size of the mail piece, not by its content. Size categories are as follows (note that references to "longer" and "shorter" sides are based strictly on their measurement and are not determined by the orientation of the address label):

Letter:

Shorter side: minimum 3 1/2"; maximum 6 1/8"

Longer side: minimum 5"; maximum 11 1/2"

Thickness: minimum .007"' maximum 1/4"

If your mail piece is larger in one or more dimensions than the maximum for letter size mail, you must use the rates for flat-sized mail.

Flat:

Shorter side: maximum 12"

Longer side: maximum 15"

Thickness: maximum 3/4"

Note that USPS regulations provide that flats may not be sent using the "Regular Upgradable" and "Nonprofit Nonautomation Trays" settings. Postage $aver will automatically choose "letters" if you have either of these settings selected.

Mail that is larger than flat-sized may be mailed at standard (A) rates, but requires a different sorting system.  If you regularly send standard (A) bulk mail that exceeds flat-sized dimensions or exceeds the weight limitation for this version of Postage $aver, we will be happy to provide you a quote for a special version of Postage $aver to meet your needs.

Weight/Piece (oz.): If the weight of your mail exceeds certain standards, the postage for your mailing is based partially on weight. The standards vary depending on the type of mailing you have selected. Also, if you are preparing your mail in sacks, rather than in trays, the weight of each piece determines the minimum number of pieces in each sack.

When you select a type of mailing, Postage $aver determines what weight threshold applies, depending on whether you choose letter or flat-sized mail. The top button on the Wt./Pc selector should be chosen if your mail is less than or equal to the weight shown next to the button. You need to enter the weight of each piece only if the weight exceeds the "or less" amount next to the top button. If you mail is heavier than the weight shown next to the top button, enter the correct weight in ounces in the box next to the bottom button.

Note that all weights are in ounces.

All standard (A) bulk mail is limited to a maximum of 16 ounces per piece. Some types of standard (A) bulk mail is limited to much lower weights.  Postage $aver will not let you enter a weight above the limit for the type of mail you have selected.

Mail that is prepared in sacks and is heavier than 1.92 ounces per piece cannot be sorted using Postage $aver Lite.  To sort such mail, upgrade to Postage $aver Pro.

Maximum Pieces in a Full Tray: Mail that is prepared in trays is often required to be submitted in full trays only for a certain sorting level.  (For example, if there is not enough mail to 77005 to fill a tray, you would be required to combine all your mail for 77005 with all other mail going to 770.) In order to know when a tray is "full", Postage $aver must know how many pieces of your mail it takes to fill a tray.

If your mailing is prepared in trays, you must enter the maximum number of pieces that fit in one tray in the indicated space. Postage $aver will create "full" trays that have at least 75% of the maximum number of pieces you specify, but not more than the number you specify, in accordance with USPS regulations.

Submission of trays that are less than 75% full where only full trays are allowed can result in rejection of your mailing by the USPS.

OK: Press this or hit enter to save your entries.

Cancel: Press this to return to the entries you previously saved.


Mailer Location Settings

Mailer's Home Post Office: This should be the post office where you have your bulk rate permit

City:  Fill in your home post office's city, using all caps.

State: Fill in the two-letter postal abbreviation for your home post office's state, using all caps.

Zip:  Fill in the five-digit zip code of the post office where you have your permit.  This zip code is used to determine what post offices you can use to earn "entry discounts" for your mail. Use only a five digit zip code here (not a nine-digit code.)

Mailings will be sent from:  Indicate where you will deposit your mailing.  Mailings mailed at post office sorting facilities earn substantial postage discounts.  Postage $aver automatically chooses the appropriate sorting facilities for the zip code you entered above, and computes applicable mail entry discounts depending on your selection. If you don't know which button to set, ask the supervisor at the post office where you drop your bulk mail.

OK: Press this or hit enter to save your entries.

Cancel: Press this to return to the entries you previously saved.


Preferences Settings and Creating Output Files

When sorting, bad zip codes will always be skipped.  Also skip if zip code does not match:

These boxes allow you to decide whether Postage $aver will include or skip over zip codes that are apparently inconsistent with the states and cities that they are addressed to. If cities or states are not included in the files you are sorting with Postage $aver, these settings are ignored. These settings do not affect the operation of Postage $aver when you are verifying (rather than sorting) one or more files.

state name: If two-letter state abbreviations are included in your input file, Postage $aver will check the first three digits of each zip code to determine whether the state is correct for that three-digit zip area. If not, Postage $aver checks a list of zip codes that are exceptions to the three-digit list. If the state still looks incorrect, Postage $aver flags this entry. If this box is checked, this entry will not be included in your sorted mail. Whether the box is checked or not, this entry will appear in the "Rejected and Questionable Zip Codes" report at the end of the Bulk Mail Sort Report.

city name: If city names are included in your input file, Postage $aver will check the first three digits of each zip code to determine whether the zip code is in what the USPS calls a "unique city."  Unique cities are generally those with enough post offices to need an entire three-digit area. (For example, all zip codes starting with 770 are used by Houston post offices.) If the zip code being checked is part of a unique city, Postage $aver will look to see if the city name in your file matches that of the unique city.

If not, and if this box is checked, this entry will not be included in your sorted mail.  Whether the box is checked or not, this entry will appear in the "Rejected and Questionable Zip Codes" report at the end of the Bulk Mail Sort Report.

Warning: There are some post offices in unique cities that can be correctly addressed using a city name other than that of the unique city. Because of this, we recommend that you consider not checking this box, since the city may be correct even though Postage $aver questions it. Questionable zip/city combinations will be listed in the "Rejected and Questionable Zip Codes" report, regardless of whether you check this box.

Another warning: Since Postage $aver only carries a list of unique cities, and not a full list of post offices, many zip/city combinations will not be checked, regardless of whether you check this box.

Nonetheless, we think this is a useful tool for catching many errors.

Create output file:

When this box is checked, Postage $aver will create an output file for each file you sort. The output file is used to provide sorting information and endorsement lines back to your data base. (Endorsement lines are the lines you can use on your address labels to avoid using sticky red dots on your mail.)

The output file is either an ascii comma-delimited file or an ascii tab-delimited file, depending of the setting of the "Output file format" buttons below. The data in each record of the file is in the following order:

Sack or Tray number

Package or Group number

Zip code number

Endorsement line.

The records in the output file are in the same order as the records in the input file, so the output file can be directly imported back into your data base. Then, to sort your data base so that labels will be printed in the same order as Postage $aver's Bulk Mail Sort Report, use the sack number as the primary sort, followed by the package number, followed by the zip code number. (Rejected pieces will be at the end of the list.) If you use Postage $aver to sort several data bases at once, there will be a sort file created for each data base, so that you can import each output file back into its corresponding data base without needing to separate the output files manually.

To use the endorsement line, place it as the very top line of each address, above all other address information including names and any other list identifiers. The endorsement line must be right-justified, and, if possible, all blank space on the line should be filled with asterisks. If you properly include the endorsement line with each address, you are not required to use USPS stickers to identify each package of mail.

Use standard file names:

This box determines what the output files created by Postage $aver will be named. If you do not check this box, Postage $aver will stop and ask you for a file name for each output file it creates. If you do not want to have to bother supplying these names, or if you want to create a script or macro in your data base program that looks for the same file name every time, then check this box. If this box is checked, the output file created when you sort a single data base file will be named "P$sort1.txt". If you sort two data bases together, the output file for the first data base will be named "P$sort1.txt", while the file for the second data base will be named "P$sort2.txt", and so on for additional data bases. Files using the standard file names will be placed in the same directory as Postage $aver.

Output file format:

These buttons choose the format of the output file. If you have selected "Create output file" above, you should choose the output file type that your data base needs to import the output file that Postage $aver creates. This setting does not affect the type of mailing list file that Postage $aver can read.


Sorting and Verifying Mailing Lists

Sorting one or more data bases:

You may load one data base file or a series of data base files (to be combined into a single mailing) for Postage $aver to sort.  The data base files can be in any of the following data formats:

ascii tab-delimited text

ascii comma-delimited text

ascii merge (comma-delimited text with a header record)

If your data base does not store its files in one of these formats, there is still a good chance that you can prepare files for Postage $aver by using the data base's "export" command. If you have the choice of formats to use, ascii tab-delimited text will usually be the fastest. If you do not want to mail to all of the names in your data base, be sure to select only those names you will be mailing to before exporting the file.

Your file may include as many fields as you choose (such as name, address, etc.), but Postage $aver will only look at the zip code, city and state. To identify the zip code, Postage $aver will look for text in one of three formats: #####, #########, or #####-####, where # represents a digit. Postage $aver will mark the first field it finds that is in this format as the zip code field. (If this not the field that contains your zip codes, you will have the opportunity to confirm and change this selection before the file is sorted.)

To identify the state field, Postage $aver will look for a field containing only two letters. Postage $aver will mark the first field it finds that is in this format as the state field. Similarly, it will look for a string of at least three letters to identify the city field.

You can also provide city and state information combined into a single field, in the format "city, st". Postage $aver will identify a field like this as a "city, state" field, and will separate the state from the city when it loads the file.

You do not need to provide city and state information if do not want Postage $aver to check these to make sure they match your zip codes.

To sort a single file, choose that option from Postage $aver's Run menu. Postage $aver will ask you to choose the file to be sorted. When you have made your selection, Postage $aver will identify the format of the file, compute the total number of records in the file, and read the first record. If possible, Postage $aver will automatically determine which field in the file contains the zip code, and, if you have included them, the state abbreviation and city name.

Postage $aver shows which fields it has identified by displaying the name of the field next to the corresponding information from the file. For ascii tab-delimited and ascii comma-delimited files, Postage $aver will show you this information for the first record. For all other types of files, Postage $aver will show you the field list in the files index. Fields that are not found or identified by Postage $aver are shown next to the designation "field not found".

You can view any record in your file to make sure that the fields have been properly identified. Use the "prev" and "next" buttons in the record viewer to move through your file. (The field list appears as the record before the first data record in your file.)

If the information displayed is correct, click OK. If it is incorrect, you can move the field name to line up with the proper data item by double-clicking on the field name you need to move, then clicking the box in which it should appear. (If there is already a label in the box, you must first move the label that is there.)

When the fields are properly identified, click OK. Postage $aver will sort the file. If you have selected "Create Output File" on the Preferences window (on the Settings menu), Postage $aver will create output files as explained in the help information for that screen.

Next, Postage $aver will prepare the Bulk Mail Sort Report, and display your printer's print dialog so that you can print or view the report.

To sort more than one file at the same time, choose that option from the Run menu. The process is almost the same as that for sorting a single file, except that after loading each file, Postage $aver will ask whether you want to load another file or begin sorting. (You can also cancel the job at this point.) Once you being sorting, the process is identical, except that if you are creating output files, there will be a separate output file created for each file you have loaded.

To verify one or more files without sorting, choose the appropriate option from the Run menu. This process is identical to that described above, except that the files will not be sorted. The report produced will only include a listing of rejected and questionable zip codes, and no output files will be created. This selection is particularly useful for cleaning up your data base files before actually sorting for bulk mailing.


Adding or Removing Pieces From a Mailing After Running Postage $aver

Sometimes, when you are preparing a mailing, you will see duplicates or incorrect pieces that you might want to delete without re-running your entire Postage $aver report.  Or, you might want to add a piece or two.

You can do this as long as you take the following items into account:

1.)  You can delete pieces from any package, tray or sack as long as the number of pieces in the package does not fall below any minimum number of pieces for the type of mailing you are preparing.

2.) You can add pieces to any package as long as the number of pieces to any specific zip code, 3-digit area, scf area, adc area, etc. does not increase to more than the minimum amount required for a new package, sack or tray for the type of mailing you are preparing.

3.)  Be sure to subtract or add such pieces from or to the total piece count on the front page of the sort report.

4.)  Be sure to subtract or add such pieces from or to the appropriate rate category on the front page of the sort report.  All pieces in a single sack or tray of mail are in the same rate category.  The discount categories for each sack or tray are listed on the sort report next to the sack or tray label.


Changing Postage Rates

Postage $aver uses six postage rate charts to calculate the postage charges for your mailings. The information on these charts can be changed and printed by choosing the appropriate option on the Rates menu.

The rate charts contain rates for standard (A) bulk mail only. One set of three  charts is for "regular" mailers, the other for approved nonprofit mailers. You tell Postage $aver which chart when you select the type of mailing you are preparing, using the selection box on the Mail Type screen. (See the help information for that screen for more details.)

Regular and nonprofit rates each have categories for letter-sized and flat-sized mail, and each have "entry discount" rate categories.  Rates can be updated by clicking on the rate to be changed and typing the correct value.


Editing USPS Sorting Lists

The Sorting Lists menu lets you view, edit and print the basic sorting lists that Postage $aver uses to create and label packages and sacks. These lists are composed from information in the USPS Domestic Mail Manual. Making changes to these lists without proper care could result in incorrect sortation, leading to rejection of your bulk mailings by the USPS.

Import Update File (Registered Copies Only): The simplest way to incorporate sorting changes into Postage $aver is to use an update file provided to registered owners of Postage $aver. When you choose this option from the Sack Labels menu, Postage $aver will automatically update any lists with the information in this file.

For this function to operate properly, the P$Update.txt file must be located in the same directory as Postage $aver. Once the file has been used, its name will be changed automatically to P$date.txt, where "date" is replaced by the month and year that the file was used. If it is necessary to use this file again, the name must be changed back to P$Update.txt to be recognized by Postage $aver as an update file.

Edit Sorting Lists: This function allows you to manually edit the individual sack labels lists and the corresponding three-digit zip code lists. Choosing one of the lists will bring up a window showing the first sack label on the list.  (Some labels require entries on two lines, with the entry on the second line split into a left-justified section and a right-justified section, which will be indicated visually in the window.)

To move through the list, use the "next" and "prev" buttons. (Pressing "prev" from the first label will take you "back" to the last label on the list, and pressing "next" from the last label will take you to the first label.)

To edit a label, make the changes you want to make and then press "OK". This will take you to a list showing you the three-digit zip areas for the label. Add any areas or delete any areas as necessary, then press "OK". Your changes will be recorded.

To change the zip codes without editing the label, press "OK" from the label window without making any changes to the label.

If you are editing the 3-digit zips list, the zip code window will have an additional field for "unique city" zips. This corresponds to the USPS designation of unique cities. To designate a label as a unique city for a certain three-digit area, enter that three-digit area into the unique city field.

If you are editing the state exceptions list, the exception zip code is listed on the second line of the label, rather than in a separate window.

Print Sorting Lists: This option lets you print any sorting list you choose.


Using Postage $aver with Filemaker Pro

Filemaker Pro uses a proprietary format to store its data, and, as such, its files cannot be read directly by Postage $aver. However, it is easy to send files from Filemaker Pro to Postage $aver and back again.

To prepare a Filemaker Pro file to be read by Postage $aver, first find the records you want to include in your mailing. Then export the records to a new file. (Choose "tab-separated" as your export file type.) That's all there is to it.

If you want to be able to sort your Filemaker Pro file in the same order as Postage $aver's Bulk Mail Sort Report, create four new fields in your Filemaker Pro file as follows:

Sack Number (Number)

Package Number (Number)

Zip Number (Number)

Endorsement Line (Text)

Then, without changing the group of found records you used when exporting your file, import the P$sort1.txt file created by Postage $aver. (You'll find it in the same directory as Postage $aver.) Be sure to check "Replace data in current found set" when importing. Align your new fields with the fields in the P$sort1.txt file in the order in which they are listed above. (You don't need to import the endorsement line if you don't plan to use it.) Then, import.

(The P$sort1.txt file is only created when you check "Create Output File" on Postage $aver's Preferences window on the Settings menu.)

Now, sort your found records, in ascending order, by Sack Number, Package Number and Zip Number. They will now be in the same order as on the sort report.
