Founded in 1985, Firefighters Bookstore serves the firefighting community. Specifically, it sells books and training material to firefighters, aspiring firefighters, fire training academies, and anyone purchasing on their behalf.

Firefighters Bookstore ships about 30% of its parcels via the Postal Service. Nearly 75% ship via Priority Mail. Its penchant for using Priority Mail is due to the savings in cost and time

afforded it by the flat rates – Priority Mail Flat Rate Box and Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope. With the rates being constant irrespective of weight, shipping by Priority Mail is particularly cost-effective for heavy shipments, such as books. Additional cost savings arise from the boxes and envelopes for these mail types being supplied free of charge by the Postal Service. In fact, when a customer’s order fits into a Priority Flat Rate Box or Envelope, Firefighters Bookstore diverts the shipment from UPS to the Postal Service because doing so saves it money. Secondarily, it diverts shipments from UPS to the Postal Service when merchandise is small and ships more quickly via the Postal Service.

Not only has Firefighters Bookstore’s use of Priority Mail provided savings, it has actually helped Firefighters Bookstore grow the business and better serve its customers. Since its customers almost always receive in-stock merchandise within two days of ordering when shipped by Priority Mail, the customers are extremely pleased by the quick turnaround and, as a result, place additional orders and tell other firefighters about their positive experiences with Firefighters Bookstore.

Endicia’s Role: An Endicia Premium customer since 2003, Firefighters Bookstore uses Endicia for postage, insurance, and tracking.
