No. 43 SPRING 1995 EDITOR'S NOTES Metered mail has a number of advantages for specialized collectors. For example, look at the large variety of rates that I have found on my personal mail received since January 1, 1995. These rates are all below $1.00. Can you add to this list, or identify the use. The first group is what they call admail. The standard rate is .268Q for letter size in lots of 1,000 for firms having a permit. For oversize mail the standard rate for permit mail, over 1,000 pieces, is 28 5 0. The other rates are where mail is sorted by computer into letter carrier walks ordered by individual addresses. These rates should all have the BULK designation. There are more rates in this series 5 .20 BULK 2 .21 BULK 5 .26 BULK 5 .27 BULK - rate probably .26 and refund for overpayment 2 .28 BULK The second group of strange rates is derived from "Incentive" mail. These rates must be obtained from Ottawa. They depend on OCR sorting and volume. The newest rates were established 17 January 1995. .34 volume 250,000 per year . 375 .384 lA .395 1.A .415 .425 •495 lA .525 lA The rates for 30 to 50 grams are: •58 5 ; .62, .63 5 , .65, .67 and .68Q There are also the standard rates: .43 lA - first class for less 30 grams .69 - over 30 grams and less than 50 grams, 1st class .88 - large envelopes, 1st class +5 —1 RETURN POSTAGE PREPAID A RETURN POSTAGE PREPAID die was approved by the Post Office Department 10 Dec 1926.
