W. . i Did you know that very large volume mailers do not pay 22t for their first class mail? The U. S. Postal Service allows companies who mail in large quantities a 4Q per letter discount when they sort their mail according to 5-digit zip code before it is brought to the Post Office. An example of this is separating 77801 mail from 77802, 77803 mail, 77805 and 77806. 1 You must have at least 500 pieces of mail every day in order to take advantage of this discount and you must bundle the mail according to Postal requirements and deliver it to the Post Office, If you do this, you can put 18t on a first class letter where the county now puts 22Q. In addition to the 500 piece per day minimum, there are two ways for letters to qualify for the lower postage rate: (1) you must have ten or more letters going to the same 5-digit zip code such as ten going to 77340 in Huntsville, or ten going to 77806 in Bryan, or (2) you must have 50 or more letters going to an area where all the surrounding towns' zip codes start with the same first three numbers like 77859 in Hearne, 77864 in Madisonville and 77868 in Navasota. The first three numbers of these zip codes,are all 778. Based on a study of the county's mail in March and April, we found you mail an average of 830 pieces of mail per day. If we assume that 87% of that mail will qualify for the presort discount, you can project savings of approximately $228 per month, or an annual savings of $2,735. Certain pieces of mail will not qualify for the discount. If you mail two pieces to Sweetwater, TX and none of our other customers mails to that city, we don't have ten pieces going to that location thus there is no discount. The mail that does not qualify for the presort discount is considered residue mail and must pay the full 22~ rate. On pieces that do not qualify for the discount, we do not charge handling. If you don't save money on it, we don't charge for our service. We will charge you 4Q, but that is just to cover the additional postage. For each piece that qualifies for the discount, we charge 21t for our service. The savings of $228 per month quoted above is after our fee has been paid. Each day our company collects your mail, sorts and bundles it before delivery to the Post Office on the same day. The mail is not delayed. Each month we handle more than 85,000 pieces of mail. Our customers include a hospital, a large doctors group and seven financial institutions. Today, you have an opportunity to cut your postage expenses by approxi- mately 8%. For you, postage does not have to be a fixed expense. 1 i -1 k VOL PAGE :ltxw:f ~{yxw-.• }~.-~y,Tt~C 7R7: JOa.•L'J. TCL_ 1 L r r 1985 MAR 19 r 4 Mai!

The most popular discount is the 40 per letter discount given when the mail is presorted according to zip code before it's brouLht to the Post' Office. Not breakinE, it up between in town and out of town, but sortinE, it by the 5-digit zip code. If you presort n first class letter needs only 180 postaE;e rather than 22¢. The actual process of the service is explained on anot"ner page. TakinL edvantaL,j of this discount is a comElon practice. In preparHtion for this report we contacted some of the lar¢e st counties in Texas to see if they took advantage of the presorted first class discount. Tae result was overwhelminL- Only 4arris county did not pre sort their mail. :very orie of the followinL counties have their mail presorted: Dallas, Bexar, Tarrant, Lubbock, Potter, Travis, Vidland and Iv-,tor counties. Locally both the cities, of Bryan and College :station presort tneir utility bills. Every ban!c and savir_Ls and loan in both cities either presort tnemselves or have it done for them. rand two weeks aeo Texas AU, made the decision to take advantage of the discount. :re did an informal study of the mail leavinE, the county. Based on that sample we found the county mailed about 18,000 nieces of mail each month. !:e could expect to qualify about 88% of that mail for the discount. That would translate to an annual ' savings of more than ;2,800. Your mail would not be delayed, in fact, it moves faster since it is handled less. You already have all of the equipment you need so there is no start up cost or delay to be encountered. Since our fee is paid by part of your posta[e discount you save money from the first day.

DeLucia Presort Mail Service was created to enable your company to + save money through a discount offered only to the large mailers by the U.S. Postal Service. Do you know that large volume mailers pay only 18t postage on first class mail? To do this, they must meet j certain postal service regulations such as a minimum of 500 pieces per day sorted according to zip code, bundled and delivered to the . post office. 1 DeLucia Presort Mail Service makes this discount available to you and frees your employees from the time consuming tasks of sorting I and bundling the mail. How? By collecting and combining your mail with the mail of more than a dozen other subscribers, you can take advantage of the benefits and savings previously reserved only for large volume mailers. Here is how it works. 1 After your mail has been metered (18t) and counted; we will sort it and prepare it for posting. We will issue a three part invoice book 'to the supervisor of your mail operation. This invoice records the I number of pieces of mail handled each day. Your business will retain { + one copy for your records. A second copy will be included with your monthly statement which will reflect handling charges of 2id per piece. a No matter how large the mailing, certain pieces, such as those destined for remote zip codes, will not qualify for the discounted postage rate. This is called residual mail, and must pay the full 22t rate. Since you have already posted 18Q, DeLucia Presort Mail Service will pay the addi- tional charge on a daily basis. These charges for residual mail will appear on your monthly statement. There is no charge for our service i on residual mail. All companies that presort mail are required to pay a $40.00 annual per- mit fee to the U. S. Postal Service- DeLucia Presort Mail Service has ,a already paid this annual fee. Since you will be operating under our permit, you are not required to pay this charge. Postage has always been a fixed expense; now however, DeLucia Presort Mail Service allows you to reduce the cost of this fixed expense by as much as 7% starting today.
