Endorsements

Q: What do you mean by Endorsements?

A: First Class Mail is Forwarded on to customers that move and returned if undeliverable, this is included in the rate. When shipping with Mail Innovations the mail is now sent Standard and the customer needs to choose the appropriate endorsements based on their needs. Each specific endorsement has a charge associated if the mail is returned as undeliverable.

Q: Which Endorsement if Right for me?

A: That depends on a variety of factors, such as:

– What do you do with returned mail?

– What is the value of the items being shipped?

– How up to date is your customer database?

Q: Can I have more than one endorsement?

A: Yes, UPS Mail Innovations can handle Multiple Endorsements, the mail would either need to be manually separated when turned over to Mail Innovations, or a barcode containing different “Cost Centers” must be on every piece.
