3. New Rate Discounts
In 2001, the Postal Service introduced a new discount program for its Global Express Mail™ service. The portfolio of postage reduction opportunities is coordinated to help customers keep their distribution expenditures in line with the service requirements they need. The first level is a 5 percent discount for all mailers who use the Express Mail Corporate Account (EMCA). In addition to the EMCA 5 percent discount, if a mailer commits to sending at least 600 items or $12,000 in postage annually, they can receive larger discounts under the Global Package Discount program through an International Customized Mail Agreement.
