3. The MAIL MUST BE SORTED IN TWO CATEGORIES
   1. ALWAYS in zip code order
   2. All 212’s will go in one tray (s)
   3. All non 212’s go in another tray (s) (Ex: out of states and all 210’s etc.)

1. Ready to Mail
   1. On the form given to you with the bulk mail materials we will fill in all fields that we can and

      highlighted areas will be filled out by you.

   2. On page 2 Section B you will log in the number of pieces in each bundle (See I C b and c)

      Under B1 and B 3

   3. Once # of pieces is determined, the total will be transferred to the front of page 1 where it is says

      Part B.

   4. A check made out to POSTMASTER is required or cash. ( no credit cards accepted)
   5. Your check, the Bulk Mail Form, and your mailing may be taken to any 212 Post Office.

      (no express post offices)

   6. A copy of your form must be faxed to Donna Bethke at 410-882-5194 (f) so that we may keep track of who is mailing and when. Discrepancies are resolved at the mail post office and you are responsible for any differences.
2. Bulk Mail Tip

   A. If you sort your databases (if running labels) in ZIPCODE order it makes sorting the mail

   easier.

3. Why Bulk Mail?
   1. Bulk mail prices are $.261 for all 212’s and $.282 for all non-212’s.
   2. Compared to 39 cents per this is a significant savings.
   3. You can reach more customers for less!
