Sort Instructions

When presorting you are grouping your mail by ZIP Code.
All of the pieces going to the same destination get grouped into the same bundle
Sort to specific areas, (i.e. 59101, 59102, and etc.) and then work your way up to more general areas.
Count the number of mail pieces in each area code and place this number in the Zip Code Form.
Total the number of pieces and turn in the Zip Code Form with the bundled bulk mail.
The mail room clerk will then fill out the specific postage statement for the bulk mailing and submit it to the post office.
