Large Volume Mailing Services

If you are mailing 200 or more mail pieces you will lower your postage and labor expenses by outsourcing your mailing activities to us at CARDWELL COMPANIES. Why and How? Simple! We know how to qualify your mailings for the lowest possible postage rates offered by the U. S. Post Office. Look at the USPS website, USPS.com, to see how complicated all this is. Why use up your company's staffing time and increase your labor costs and still not qualify for the lowest automated postal rates.

We start by helping you design and print your mail pieces so that they meet all the specifications required by the USPS. Ever heard of an Aspect Ratio? What is the required thickness of a 6” by 11” post card? We know all of these intricate rules. We work directly with you and your printer to ensure that this first step in every large mailing is successful.

Your next step is to send us your mailing list; emailing it to us is fine, no ZIP code order required. We CASS certify every address; we NCOA every address. We also can detect and eliminate duplicate names and addresses. You may not know what this means, but we do. The resulting mailing list now meets Post Office requirements to qualify for the lowest possible postage rates.

Then you send us or we pick up your newly printed mail pieces and we print a professional looking address label on each one using your newly certified mailing list. Then we sort and tray each mail piece to again comply with Post Office requirements. Lastly, we take your mailing to the Post Office and you get an official Post Office Certificate of Mailing that states the day of mailing and how many pieces were mailed at what postage rate. We should also tell you that we will also use our own USPS mailing permit so you don't need to pay the yearly permit fees.

What makes all this possible is our thorough knowledge of postal regulations and the software and hardware systems that we have committed to satisfying your mailing needs.

Please call or email us for a quote. Most of the time we process mailings within 24-48 hours of the day we receive the mailing pieces and the address list. No slackers work here! Give us a try. We won't let you down.

Website Fulfillment Services

If you sell any tangible product on the Web, you probably need to ship or mail it to the buyer. You also need to stock what you sell and maintain your inventory at some level.

Your customers want their purchases now and they don't want to pay a lot for shipping. No breakage or lost packages either. You would like to make a profit and not spend too much on shipping. You don't want to end every day at the Post Office dropping off packages that you were barely able to finish. A vacation sounds good but orders come first.

CARDWELL COMPANIES ships hundreds of carefully packed products every day. We maintain your product inventory by recording incoming stock and outgoing sales. We find the safest, fastest and lowest cost shipping alternatives out there. We will process your orders within 4-24 hours of placement. An order posted in the morning will go out that same afternoon. We also offer telephone support, which includes taking phone orders and answering inquiries from your customers. Mailed in orders can also be processed. We do all this without you lifting a finger and at a cost that is low because of our combined volumes and the efficiencies we have developed over the years.

Warehousing your inventory of products, using everything from your basement or leased storage unit to the back room at your office, can be almost totally eliminated by having us maintain your products in ready-to-ship order. You can instruct your supply source to ship products directly to us or, if you assemble your own products, you can move them on to our facility and out of your way.

Determining sales volumes and patterns allows you to purchase or manufacture your products with some degree of on-hand inventory control. This saves you working capital and space and, in several instances, lets you avoid costly product write-offs. Working with us gives you greater flexibility to react to inventory demands. For instance, more warehouse space at our facility means that you could order/manufacture more of a certain product to obtain discounts on large volume purchases. Increasing or decreasing sales of a particular product will be more apparent to you with us filling orders on time every day. Faster movement of your products from purchase/manufacture status to ready-to-ship status allows you to maintain less pipeline inventory and lets you react faster to the ever-changing retail market.

Our pricing policy is flexible. We usually price each procedure/function separately. This makes it easy for you to forecast and budget your warehousing/shipping costs. We also specialize in startup companies where no statistics, patterns or experience exist, where anything can happen. We can offer you our experience and structure without you being burdened with the expense of additional staffing or minimum monthly fees from us.

Please call or email. We would be glad to help.
