Our customized mailing services for Canadian mail and International mail offer substantial savings and ease of use!
Though about one third of our mail goes to Canada, we have a full range of services available to every country in the world. While international postage can be confusing and expensive, we can blend multiple services to provide you a great international postal rate. By offering consolidation services through the United States Postal Service (USPS) and direct injection to most countries, there's something to fit every deadline and budget!
Available to every country in the world, these services allow us to commingle mail from many customers and create one large mailing (per service) per day. Because of the consolidation process, there are no minimums and the pieces can be all different sizes and weights. Printed matter pieces can weigh up to 66 lbs. Merchandise items are limited to a maximum piece weight of 4 lbs. Mail is required to have a USA return address and indicia. Note that dutiable items are required to have proper customs documentation.

A great tool for direct marketers trying to make a mailer look like it came from "across the street" - a proven method of improving response rates. We currently offer services to 25 plus countries. Delivery and potential savings will vary by country and service. There may also be minimums depending on service and destination country.
With same day linehauls to London from our entry at Chicago O'Hare, we can access the UK domestic mail stream within 24-48 hours of entry. We offer 1st and 2nd Class mail, parcels (PacketPost), and publication services.
These services utilize foreign postal administrations that are able to offer cheaper international rates to other countries (hence the "remail" name). These services have inherent issues with consistency but can be inexpensive alternatives to some higher cost options.
"International Business Reply Service" is available through the USPS and is very simple to use. Customers can use their domestic BR account with a unique (intl) envelope or card. IMS can assist with the design contacts within the USPS.
We can set up a business reply program for Canada. We'll get you artwork for the reply mechanism, a return address, mail box rental, and provide regular sweeps as needed.
