Article Abstract:

A US Postal Service proposal allowing bulk First-Class mailers such as insurance firms and banks to send direct marketing mail or invoices with drop-ship discounts is being considered by the mailing industry. PricewaterhouseCoopers, a management consultancy firm, was hired by the USPS to study whether mailers would use a drop-ship discount for First- Class mail entered at Sectional Center facilities.
