Metering

Metering Services  

Metering is one of the best and most efficient ways to send your mail—it processes your mail through fast, modern equipment that ensures each piece always meets USPS standards.  

Cornell Mail Services metering program currently provides service to more than 800 Cornell accounts, and our mail volume approaches one million pieces annually.  

Savings and Benefits  

Generally, mail is metered and mailed out the same day that it is picked up from your department.   

We charge a straight fee per 1,000 pieces, plus postage costs. Charges are billed to your department account number on a monthly basis.  Our current fee is 8.4 cents per piece or $84.00 per thousand.  This fee is subject to change.   

Our metering service can save you money when you add up equipment leases, maintenance fees, and the employee expenses an individual department would pay. Use the Metering Worksheet to calculate your savings!
