Has anyone gotten a bulk mailing permit? If so how difficult was it to obtain, how much did it cost and how much did it save you on shipping?

I'm curious, what is a bulk mailing permit? If it's what I think it is, you'll have to talk to your local p.o. about it.

... wish one existed for twitter !:)

The Post Office will process your application and give you a permit number to use meter stamps for bulk mailings. You will get a receipt with a permit number on it. You'll use this number when you fill out your postage statement. If you have questions, contact your meter manufacturer or vendor.
