Government Bills of Lading (GBLs) will be used when a Stamps by Mail® (SBM) order is larger than 20,000 forms (11 cartons or more). There will be a transportation cost charged back to the finance number for any orders using GBLs. If the order is larger than 20,000 forms (40 packs), your finance number must be included on PS Form 3227–O, Stamps by Mail Brochure Order Form. This charge cannot go on an IMPAC credit card.
The exact cost of the GBL cannot be determined until the time of the actual order. For budgetary purposes, however, you can approximate the cost. The printer is located in Lancaster, Ohio. GBL prices are based on the mileage and weight of each shipment. Below are sample GBL charges based on 400 pounds (approximately 20,000 forms) to listed destinations. Using these examples, you can estimate the cost for delivery to your location.
