Bulk Mail

Permit #28— To send bulk mail via USPS, it is economical to use the Stanford nonprofit mail Permit #28. Minimum requirements to qualify for nonprofit bulk mail postage rates are 500 pieces for First Class and 200 pieces or 50 pounds for Standard mail service. Contact an external mail preparation service to make arrangements for the mailing.  The mail preparation service vendor will take care of the required USPS paperwork and obtain the necessary signature from Mail and Package Services (MPS). The selected vendor must have an approved work request (see below) for use of the permit. The department requesting the service pays the postage via the PTA provided to MPS. There is an additional processing fee charged for this service.
