Mail Services maintains an advance account at the Amherst Post Office for business reply mail and handles all the associated fees and accounting. Mail Services is the ONLY campus department qualified by USPS to authorize business reply usage.

The design requirements are very exact for business reply mail so it is required that you contact Office 2 Office Mail Services customer service at 413-545-2488 before planning your campaign or printing any mailing pieces.

Postal regulations change frequently so please do not use old envelopes or previous designs without approval of Mail Services.

Recharge amounts, based on basic USPS Business Reply postage rates, are as follows:
Regular letters and post cards up to one ounce- 70 ¢ each piece returned
Larger pieces are charged at the rate of $1.50 plus .17 each additional ounce.

After receiving business reply pieces from the Post office, Mail Services will recharge individual departments and deliver reply mail the next business day.
