Intelligent Mail Bar Code© Tracking/Reporting
J&Q provides a web-based tool that delivers real-time reports of your direct mail as it progresses through the mail stream. This web portal is refreshed seven times a day and confirms the delivery status of First and Standard Class mailings.

This tool also provides a reporting feature that allows users secure access to their library of mail campaigns (past and present). Users can review their programs with a variety of report parameters including date, state code, SCF, BMC, geographical region, single piece or other mail entry information.

Real-time Tracking/Reporting
If you are looking for unparalleled, real-time access to data about your mailings, look no further. Using our web-based solution you can find out where your mailings are, how many have reached their destination, and how quickly they got there—and view it all online, in real time. Johnson & Quin uses the USPS CONFIRM tracking system to help ensure that your packages arrive at their destination.

Postal Optimization
The key to postal optimization is to balance maximizing postal discounts with meeting in-home dates—but balance does not have to mean compromise. Because cost savings and mail speed are important to our customers, we optimize every mailing to certify that they are delivered as fast and cost effectively as possible.

  • BMC/SCF drop entry mail planning
    Significantly reduce postal costs while achieving a customized in-home delivery window. J&Q will analyze your mail file and create a BMC/SCF mail plan to maximize postal discounts and savings. J&Q also provides an on-line tool for clients to verify and confirm that their mail has been received at national entry points.
  • Co-palletization
    Authorized by the USPS to offer co-palletization services, J&Q can combine trays from multiple mailings together on the same skid, pieces qualifying for BMC or SCG postal discounts. Each mailing is presorted and produced independently but may be merged onto one pallet, maximizing collective postal discounts.
  • Commingling
    For mailings that have multiple lettershop versions or small quantities, J&Q offers a method of maximizing postal rates for First and Standard Class mail. By combining components with other mailings, you gain a lower, fixed rate than would be achieved by mailing separately.
