Upload your documents for printing, addressing, and delivery to your customers.

How Does It Work?
Using NetPost Mailing Online, you can create postcards, letters, booklets, and self-mailers/flyers on your desktop computer that adhere to the size and shape guidelines required by the Postal Service.

You can upload your documents and either enter your addresses or upload your address list, which you can store in a secure online address book. Mail merging, which lets you add variable data fields, is available so you can further personalize your mailings.

After you upload your documents, you can preview them and submit them. They are then transmitted securely to print sites near your recipients’ addresses.

Your pieces will be printed, addressed, and delivered. Orders placed before 2 p.m. EST are printed and mailed the following business day, and you have the option to schedule mailings up to 28 days in advance. You will receive e-mail confirmation that your order has been accepted and mailed.

See NetPost Mailing Online for complete information.

Which Mailing Services Are Available?
Your mailing can be sent by First-Class Mail, Standard Mail, or Nonprofit Standard Mail, or First-Class Mail International.

What About Address Standardization?
With NetPost, you get free address standardization, meaning that ZIP Codes are automatically verified for accuracy and, where possible, corrected or improved. Discounted prices are then applied to all of the mailpieces with addresses that have been successfully standardized.

What Are the Accepted File Formats for Address Lists?

  • ASCII comma or tab delimited (.csv or .txt)
  • Microsoft Access 95, 97, or 2000
  • Microsoft Excel 95, 97, or 2000

How Much Does It Cost?
Although the price varies according to the printing and the delivery options you select, you can estimate the cost online.

How Do I Pay?
Payment can be made using a credit card or NetPost’s debit account program.
