The 3602 R1 PS form, officially titled the USPS Marketing Mail Postage Statement, is required for businesses that dispatch large volumes of Marketing Mail at discounted USPS rates. It documents the postage payment method, permit holder information, total pieces mailed, total weight, and any applicable incentive discounts. Accurate completion ensures compliance with USPS postal regulations and prevents processing delays at the post office.
Each section of the form serves a specific role in the mailing process:
Any business or organization mailing 200 or more identical pieces at USPS Marketing Mail rates must file this postage statement at the accepting post office before mail is dispatched. Direct marketers, large-volume mailers, and organizations running mail campaigns all rely on this form to comply with USPS postal regulations. The form also establishes accountability by requiring the mailer to certify the accuracy of all submitted information.
Several related forms are often used alongside the 3602 R1. The PS 3602 EZ Form provides a simplified postage statement for qualifying mailings with fewer line items. The USPS 3600 Form is used for First-Class Mail postage statements. Organizations mailing at nonprofit rates may also need the 3602 N1 Form.
