How to Calculate BRM Fees
To calculate the total cost of your BRM, you'll need to multiply the number of pieces you're sending by the postage rate. For example, if you're sending 1,000 pieces of BRM, the total cost would be:
1,000 pieces x $0.155 per piece = $155.00
You'll also need to add the annual permit fee and any additional fees (such as address correction or UAA fees) to the total cost.
How to Order BRM
To order BRM, you'll need to contact the USPS or visit their website. You'll need to provide the following information:
- Your business name and address
- The type of BRM you want to order (domestic or international)
- The number of pieces you want to order
- The frequency of your mailings (e.g., monthly, quarterly)
The USPS will then provide you with a permit number and a unique barcode that you'll need to use on your BRM pieces.
