Business Reply

The University has a business reply permit which enables the department to have responses sent back to the department at no cost to the sender.

This service is used for surveys or mailings in which a large number of replies are expected and the department does not want the sender to pay return postage.

The cost for this service is eight cents, plus postage for each return piece.

A letter size envelope will cost you 49 cents and a postcard will cost 34 cents.

The ASU Post Office will charge this postage to your account when the replies are received in our office.

The Postal Service requires business reply envelopes to be designed with a specific format to ensure that bar codes and other markings are in the correct places, each design must be approved by the Postal Service.

The News and Information Office must design and approve your business reply envelopes.

When you are sending over 2,000 pieces of business reply mail out, we request that you notify the ASU Post Office in advance so that we can plan on having an adequate amount of money in the University’s United States Postal Service business reply account.

If you have any questions on business reply, please feel free to call the ASU Post Office for assistance.
