U.S. Judges Back Legal Cap on USPS Presort Mail Discounts:
The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit today dismissed an attempt by USPS to overturn orders from the Postal Regulatory Commission to correct over-large discounts offered for presorted mail.
The regulator had said the discount being offered by USPS was greater than the cost-savings that the presorting activity provided it – thereby breaking US postal law.
However, in two attempts to overturn a Commission order originally issued in 2010, USPS argued that it needed to offer large discounts for bulk mailers to keep them using the mail.
