👉 The Accommodation IOR, or International Office Rate, is a fee charged by post offices worldwide for providing mail storage and handling services to international mail. When you send mail to an international address, the cost of storing that mail in the post office before it is shipped can vary significantly based on the destination country's postal rates. The Accommodation IOR is a flat rate that covers the additional cost of storing international mail at the post office, ensuring that the recipient receives their mail promptly and efficiently. This fee helps offset the higher costs associated with international shipping and ensures that the post office can manage its resources effectively while providing reliable service to global clients.
