USPS's own directories

• The USPS Printer Directory lists printers that can help with design, printing and mail preparation.
• USPS's Business Mail Entry Unit locator shows where bulk mail is accepted near you. Mail houses that enter mail locally use these offices.

Check before you call

• Do they show the kinds of mail they handle (postcards, letters, newsletters, EDDM)?
• Do they mention presort, permits or data processing? Those are signs of a real mail house.
• Is there a street address? Can you visit?

Red flags

• Postage bundled into a single price per piece with no breakdown
• No proof before printing or addressing
• No USPS paperwork showing what was mailed and when
• Pressure to sign a long contract before a first job

Good signs

• They ask about your list, your deadline and your mail class before quoting
• They explain where your savings come from
• They give you counts and a postage estimate after processing your list
