Those mailers rely on presort houses which charge a fee.<br /><br />If the USPS restructured the postage discount, raising the postage by less than what is charged by the presort house, the mailer (printer) would have an incentive to come directly to the USPS for sorting.<br /><br />For example: A mailer gets a 10 cent discount, but pays 5 cents to the presort house. The net savings to the mailer is 5 cents.<br /><br />The USPS should offer a 6 cent discount to the mailer, if they come directly to the USPS. Result? The USPS gets an additonal 4 cents in revenue and the mailer realizes 1 cent <i><b>more</b></i> in savings over the presort discount.<br /><br />Business 101 - Eliminate the middle man<br /><br />ACK<br />ACK@ppwu.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
