About Priority Mail Open and Distribute

The Priority Mail Express Open and Distribute (PMEOD) and Priority Mail Open and Distribute (PMOD) methods let you expedite bulk shipments of mail to USPS mail processing facilities for distribution. You can use PMEOD or PMOD through the Order Lookup and Batch Print tabs.

To use PMEOD or PMOD, you must:

Prepare multiple mailpieces according to standards for that class of mail.
Enclose those mailpieces in a container for expedited service using a PMEOD or PMOD label.
Present the container to a postal acceptance unit by the critical entry time for USPS shipment.

You may use PMEOD or PMOD for all or part of your mailings.

Commercial Plus tray boxes are only available with Priority Mail and also require USPS approval for the Open and Distribute Commercial Plus discount.
