What is the minimum volume required to claim ECRWSH Plus?

The minimum volume required to claim ECRWSH Plus is 300 pieces per route. This requirement is in place to ensure that the mailing is of a sufficient size to qualify for the Enhanced Carrier Route Walk Sequence High-Density Plus (ECRWSH Plus) pricing structure. This pricing option is designed to encourage bulk mailings that can be processed more efficiently by postal services, leading to cost savings for both the mailer and the postal system.

Reaching a threshold of 300 pieces enables the mail to be organized and delivered in a way that optimizes the delivery process, benefiting both the sender and the postal service. This volume requirement also helps to maintain the program's effectiveness, ensuring that a significant level of mail is being sent through the high-density carrier route which streamlines sorting and delivery.

In contrast, lower volume options would not qualify because they may not fully take advantage of the cost and efficiency benefits that ECRWSH Plus is intended to offer. Therefore, to maximize the benefits of this service and meet the requirements established by the postal authority, a minimum volume of 300 pieces is essential.
