What is Pitney Bowes Delivery Guarantee?

Pitney Bowes Delivery Guarantee provides a 4-day delivery guarantee or your money back on qualifying shipments. Qualifying shipments include expedited mail classes, including but not limited to USPS expedited classes (for example, Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, and First Class Package), and expedited classes as defined by other domestic carriers subcontracted by Pitney Bowes for this product.

How are delivery times calculated?

Delivery time is calculated from the time the parcel was accepted to the time the parcel was either delivered or first attempted for delivery. Weekends and federal holidays are excluded from the delivery-time calculation. Some exclusions apply.
