Rate Case Realities

Printers and mailers, like dentists and plumbers, need to be part of an association. Without the resources that such an affiliation provides, the professional is operating in the dark, hoping to discern alone what his or her peers are having explained to them.

Associations charge dues, of course, but that cost can easily be offset by money saved (or not lost) because of a smarter decision based on information or advice supplied by the association. Going forward in postal rate cases, the need to better understand what they’re all about—and what to do—will not decrease.
