Timing
**Please note that because of Amazon signing a deal with the United States Postal Service, it has created a great mass of mail and packages to sort through, resulting in a slower delivery time across the board.
Keener Marketing, Inc. will always work as quickly and efficiently as possible to get your mailing to the post office. The speed depends on the mass of mail going through each post office. KM is not liable for the speed in which the Post Office handles Bulk Mailings.
First Class: First Class is typically delivered in 1-2 business days, and nationally it will be delivered in 3-5 business days. If an addressee has moved, your mail will be forwarded at no additional cost for a period of one year from when the move occured. If a piece is undeliverable, it will be returned to you at no additional charge, and it will include the reason that it was not delivered.
Presorted First Class: Presorted First Class provides the same speed and level of service as First Class but also offers postage savings when mailing 500 or more pieces. Reduced postage prices of an approximate 20% savings over First Class postage. To receive the lower postage rate, the addresses must be NCOA updated, and sorted in "presort" order.
Bulk Mailing: Bulk mailing delivery dates vary. Typical time is 10-21 days once it's dropped at the Post Office. Bulk mail from Chattanooga to local cities takes 3-5 days.
Non-profit stamps are available upon request.
Text on custom printed items is fully editable at no extra charge, and colors and photos can be replaced to suit your needs (fees may apply).
