Several years ago I hauled packages, delivering them to BMC&#039;s (bulk mail centers). It is amazing what they do at those places, mail of all size are going to different places, all at the same time. I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if some went the wrong direction, taking the scenic route. I wonder it our magazines are bundled to go to the specific BMC serving the address to be delivered. That is one thing to check into. At BMC&#039;s the mail is separated to go to the post offices it serves, the rest is sent to other BMC&#039;s. If our mail is bundled to make this more efficient, it would be faster. Chris, why don&#039;t you look into this, as your BMC would not be Cincinnati, probably Battle Creek, or some place in Michigan. You should have it by now. Our BMC here would be Cincinnati, but, I think they were dragging their feet this time. We use bar code, so keying the zip is not the holdup. The printer would not make extra trips to the BMC, so, I am certain getting the magazine sent out all at the same time is not an issue, 6,000 pieces of mail is not a big deal, I hauled 20,000+ on each load, and it was processed in less than 2 hours.
Take care, and have a great day!!! Later, Andy
