Sending your PreSort Letters is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Prepare your mail: You or your mail house needs to prepare your PreSort Letters (if you need a mail house to help you, you can find one in our list of Bulk Mail Partners). Refer to the PreSort Letters Service Guide (1.18mb) for detailed instructions on how to prepare and sort your PreSort Letters. If you're unsure whether your mail meets the service requirements for addressing, send us a sample of your letter. We'll test for barcode accuracy and readability.
