PitneyWorks Overage Fee

Each meter has a postage download threshold built into the agreement which is based on the recommended postage volume for each meter.  Downloads exceeding that threshold are charged a meter postage overage fee of 1%.

Note: Master accounts are assigned a threshold at the account level.  The threshold is determined based on the overall meter model composition. 

The aggregate meter refills plus applicable taxes in a billing cycle have exceeded the meter download threshold.

Taxes are included in the threshold amount because Pitney Works pays Canada Post for the postage downloaded plus the applicable taxes.

Only postage downloads plus applicable taxes charged to Pitney Works are included in the meter threshold when calculating the postage overage fee.

• If you are currently refilling in larger amounts every few months, you may be able to avoid this fee by refilling monthly for smaller amounts.
• If you are routinely going significantly over the limit, you may be better served by upgrading to a bigger meter.
• Maintain opening and closing credit balance in your account in excess of $50.

If the aggregate meter refills plus applicable taxes within a billing cycle exceeds the meter threshold built in to your agreement, the overage fee will be charged.
