Letters/Opinion

THANK YOU IS WELCOME

Thank You for Mentioning the American Catalog Mailers Association contribution in the postal wars in your Editor's Note (“Help is on the way”) in the March Issue.

If you are not already aware of this, Bank of America had filed commentary very late in the rate case comment period, attempting to discredit the U.S. Postal Service recommendation to give the catalog industry slightly lower rates.

The ACMA quickly requested a one-day filing extension, which the Postal Regulatory Commission granted, and then filed a rebuttal to Bank of America's arguments.

Hopefully this will be sufficient to maintain the rates suggested by the USPS in its quest to become more market driven in its pricing decisions.
