How It Works
Once you join, we'll provide shipping software, signage, and other things you'll need to start selling shipping labels and postage.
Your mail carrier will pick up your outgoing packages and mail for you.
What You Need
- A small amount of available space for a postage scale, label printer, and computer
- A safe place to keep customer packages until they're picked up
- A computer, label printer(s), scale, etc (we sell ready-to-go kits starting at $1k)
How You'll Make Money
USPS has several price lists for different kinds of customers. Retail prices are what customers pay when they mail something at the post office. However, you won't be paying retail prices for the postage you sell. You'll be paying deeply discounted prices and pocketing the difference.
Here are some real examples as of May 2024:
| Package and Service | Retail | Discounted | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat Rate Envelope | $9.85 | $7.99 | $1.86 |
| Small Flat Rate Box | $10.40 | $8.51 | $1.89 |
| Medium Flat Rate Box | $18.40 | $14.38 | $4.02 |
| Large Flat Rate Box | $24.75 | $19.51 | $5.24 |
| Priority 5lb Zone 3 (200 miles) | $13.95 | $7.06 | $6.89 |
| Priority 10lb Zone 4 (400 miles) | $18.85 | $11.62 | $7.23 |
| Priority 15lb Zone 5 (700 miles) | $30.50 | $24.17 | $6.33 |
| Priority 20lb Zone 8 (1800+ miles) | $92.55 | $60.80 | $31.75 |
| Ground 8oz Zone 6 | $6.00 | $4.47 | $1.53 |
| Ground 5lb Zone 3 | $12.05 | $6.68 | $5.37 |
| Ground 10lb Zone 4 | $16.30 | $11.27 | $5.03 |
| Ground 15lb Zone 5 | $24.40 | $15.35 | $9.05 |
| Ground 20lb Zone 8 | $58.55 | $28.62 | $29.93 |
You read that right, printing one shipping label can earn you $30, and the customer doesn't pay a penny more than they would at a post office! It's a win-win!
You can also check out our benefits page for discounts on mailing-related merchandise. When a customer purchases both postage and shipping supplies, you can multiply a sale's profit!
How PostalPoint Makes Money
We take a 10% cut of the net revenue from each label, capped at $100/month. If you don't make money, we don't make money. Our highest monthly fee is still less than what you'd pay for other retail shipping software, which doesn't come with the other benefits you get with the PostalPoint Network.
Employee Training
Our easy to use shipping software is designed to reduce training requirements. It has prompts and icons to guide employees through the process of inputting package details, selecting a shipping option, and accepting payment. A built-in training library provides information and help with more complex scenarios, such as filling out a customs form or determining Media Mail eligibility, so employees can quickly learn on the job without assistance from a coworker or manager.
We also have a growing online training database covering mail services and common customer questions at docs.postalpoint.network.
Point of Sale, Payments, and Cashflow
PostalPoint shipping software contains a full point-of-sale system for accepting payments via card, cash, or check, but you can use your own existing system as well and only use PostalPoint for mailing and shipping. PostalPoint uploads customer receipts to our cloud system, which calculates our fees and debits them from your bank account each month. You're only charged 10% of the net revenue from shipping services; we won't charge you for other sales like postage stamps or merchandise.
Use the PostalPoint software's reports tool to gain visibility into transactions, financial summaries, and more. It consolidates information from all your PostalPoint systems into one, so you can seamlessly grow with additional shipping lanes or a self-serve kiosk.
