Affordable, integrated, multi-carrier parcel shipping software with Internet Postage from Stamps.com.

Internet Postage (Stamps.com Interface)

Overview

Malvern's Internet Postage software provides a complete, integrated solution for processing shipments for multiple carriers including the Postal Service through your multi-carrier Malvern Site Server using your Stamps.com account. 

This highly scalable solution is intended for shippers processing from up to 1,000 USPS parcels per week. (For higher volumes, we may recommend our more automated postal manifesting solutions.) 

A real-time link between Malvern and an online, prepaid postage service from Stamps.com provides fast, accurate and integrated USPS processing. No need for manual data entry, a physical postage meter or printing manifests. The shipping labels include an IBI (Information Based Indicia) which downloads postage from a prepaid internet account.

 

How it works The operator processes US Postal shipments like any other carrier (FedEx, UPS, etc).  When the shipment is processed, the software deducts the postage from your prepaid, online postage account with Stamps.com. Then, a USPS-compliant label prints from your Eltron or Zebra label printer complete with the necessary postage to mail the parcel. (See sample label.)     Benefits Completely integrated, real-time USPS parcel processing Accurate charge-back accounting reports allocating postal charges to appropriate internal budget centers Eliminates the need to process small parcel transactions and mail transactions in different areas Eliminates the need for expensive meter leases Use one system to process all your mail and small parcel transactions.   Stealth Indicia An optional feature hides the postage amount paid by the shipper.  This allows shippers to charge a handling charge without drawing attention to the difference between the actual postage paid and the shipping & handling charged.

Electronic Delivery Confirmation

An optional special service enables shippers to verify the delivery of packages processed by the USPS. The date, zip code, and time of delivery are all recorded by the US Postal Service.  Delivery Confirmation is free for all Priority Mail.  For most other service levels, it is $0.19 per package.

System Requirements
