Bear with me a minute, actually junk mail pays more than first class for the cost of handling. Example: A first class letter must be sent from local P.O. to regional sorting center. There it is sorted, either by hand or machine, consolidated with other mail going to final destination, or in the same direction, sorted again to final P.O., then sorted again by final route carrier. All movement is by USPS or contracted carriers, paid for with the $ 0.46 stamp. Junk mail travels by truck carrier from printer to final P.O. Millions of copies, all the same, never needs to be sorted. Hauling is paid by the printer, who includes the cost in his bill to the advertiser. Truck carrier drops assigned pallets of mail at regional center or local P.O., a full trailer load at larger cities, or spread out to many smaller centers. Local P.O. does not have to sort, just hands out number of copies to each local carrier to match number of customers on his/her route, who puts one in each box. Have been there, done that. Picked up at printer in Reno, first drop at Baton Rouge, then New Orleans, Mobile, Jacksonville, Tampa, final in Miami. Another load started in Miami, then up to Jacksonvile, across to Pensacola, up to Nashville, final in Knoxville, with about 10 drops scattered in between. Took a total of 4 days. USPS is only involved with final route delivery. Willie
