In-Home Date Estimator

Work backward from the date that matters.

In-Home Date Estimator INPUTS Mail class Entry / induction date Drop-ship destination entry Run RESULTS Entry date Mon, Aug 3 Estimated window Aug 6 - Aug 11 Transit 3 to 6 business days Basis USPS service standards Preliminary estimate. Confirmed at USPS acceptance.

What it does

Expected delivery windows by mail class and entry point, so a campaign can be planned around a real in-home window instead of a guess.

Why it matters

Service standards are ranges, not promises. Seeing the window by class and entry point is what lets you pick a drop date you can defend to a client.

How to use it

  1. Pick the mail class
  2. Set the entry or induction date
  3. Choose origin or destination entry
