Priority Mail Open and Distribute expedites the transportation of bulk mailings by using Priority Mail to quickly send the mailings to a destination delivery unit for processing. Because it has a special bar-coded label, you can use USPS.com to track the shipment.

Just prepare your mailing according to the standards for the enclosed class of mail, put it into a USPS-approved container, include the appropriate tag or label, and bring it to a USPS® Network Distribution Center, Sectional Center Facility or Destination Delivery Unit. Then we base the postage price on the weight of its contents (excluding the tare weight of the external container) and regular Priority Mail distance-based prices, so you can move your mailings faster at a reasonable cost.
