Domestic letter mail rates for business clients

In this section, you will find all rates for sending letter mail to destinations in Austria. The format, weight, delivery time, and machine processability will determine the rate for your item.

General information about letter-mail rates

Choose from two different letter-mail products:

Standard letters (part of universal services): an inexpensive option for all mailings (delivery in 2 to 3 business days)
Business letters (not part of universal services): a particularly affordable contract-based product for business customers, available for quantities of 1,000 items or more (delivery within 4 to 5 business days).

For urgent items, the Premium additional service is your best option. At least 95% of letters sent with Premium reach their destination in Austria the next business day.
