Bulk Mail Services

Bulk mail refers to large quantities of mail prepared for mailing at reduced postage rates.

Please allow extra time for mailings.  Refer to the USPS Service Alerts , UPS Service Alerts, and FedEx Service Alerts pages for the latest updates.

The USPS offers a discounted rate only when certain standards are followed. UC Davis Bulk Mail Services (BMS) is authorized to use unique software and equipment that conforms to those requirements.

To qualify for bulk mail rates, you must have a minimum or 500 identical pieces for first class mail, or 200 identical pieces for standard/non-profit mail.
