New online application - Weight Averaged Business Reply Mail (WA-BRM)

A high-tech assist for non-letter size business reply mail

It’s now faster to determine — with greater accuracy — postage and fees due for non-letter size business reply mail. A new online application — Weight Averaged Business Reply Mail (WA-BRM) — has been deployed nationwide, replacing a stand-alone version.

WA-BRM was developed by Information Technology and Delivery and Retail. It’s an ACE-based program that allows Post Offices to automate the calculation of postage and fees for non-letter size BRM for authorized customers. Potential WA-BRM customers include film and media processors, inkjet cartridge recyclers and laboratory businesses, as well as any company using BRM for flat-size or other non-letter size mail qualified under DMM 507.8.12.

WA-BRM eliminates scale software license fees and allows employees to serve multiple customers at each work station. And since weight is determined in bulk, it saves work hours for USPS — and the mail is on its way to the customer sooner.
