Mountain Media Integrates with the Endicia Internet Postage Solution

Mountain Media announced the release of an integration component to their Mountain Commerce shopping cart software that will allow customers to easily process U.S. Postal Service (USPS) order shipping and fulfillment through the Endicia Internet Postage solution. Online merchants supported by Mountain Media’s ecommerce solution are now able to price, purchase and print USPS postage labels directly from their shopping cart management interface.

Endicia offers discounted Delivery and Signature Confirmation™, low-cost insurance, and the option to print labels that hide the amount of postage paid. Additionally, Mountain Commerce’s shipping solution allows merchants to easily repackage shipments and override the shipping weight and dimensions of packages that were automatically generated at checkout. This increases the efficiency of the fulfillment process for merchants that ship via the USPS.

Endicia is very excited to be working with Mountain Media to deliver our cutting-edge Internet Postage ‘Label Server’ solution to their user base. We look forward to a long-term relationship that will give customers access to the savings and benefits of Endicia’s Internet Postage solution, while streamlining their shipping and fulfillment process
Mountain Media creates comprehensive ecommerce solutions by providing robust ecommerce software, custom graphic design, Search Engine Marketing (SEM), hosting, gateway and merchant account services.

USPS launches rate increases and incentives

Under a new strategy intended to make it more competitive with other shipping companies, the U.S. Postal Service is rolling out a new rate schedule effective May 12 with a combination of higher rates and incentives for lowering costs.
Taking advantage of a law passed by Congress in 2006 that gives the U.S.P.S. increased flexibility to set prices, the Postal Service will offer zone-based pricing with lower rates for those who ship in volume or help the Postal Service cut costs by dropping off packages at bulk mail centers.
Shipping rates for Priority Mail and Parcel Select, two U.S.P.S. services commonly used by online retailers to ship parcels weighing up to 70 pounds, will rise on average 6 pct and 5.7 pct, respectively. But Priority Mail, used to deliver products typically within two to three days, will offer lower rates to shippers who use services such as the Postal Services’ online Click-and-Ship pick-up scheduling service and PC Postage online postage services from third-party vendors like Endicia and Pitney Bowes, the spokesman says.
For Parcel Select, which allows shippers to bring products to either a local post office or a bulk mail center, customers will be able to get reduced rates based on volume and also for bringing packages directly to a post office, or direct delivery unit, instead of a bulk mail center.
For package returns, the U.S.P.S. is raising the average overall rate by 2.2%. But it will offer discounts for packages returned to a direct delivery unit instead of a bulk mail center, the spokesman says.
