Abstract
A system and method for providing security to value mail. A mailer produces mail in accordance with a mail list and determines the quantity of mail and weight thereof. A dispatch and routing tag is printed with the destination information, number of mail pieces and weight of the mail. The weight of the mail, number and expected time of arrival are checked at different locations of travel. The mailer and the post office are notified if there is a discrepancy in the number of mail pieces, in the weight of the mail or in the arrival time of the value mail.
