Automated vs. Nonautomated
Automated
- Processed by the Samford Post Office with an electronic data file provided by the client
- Each piece is printed with a ZIP+4 and barcode
- Cheapest option
Nonautomated
- Client provides pieces with printed labels in ZIP code order to the Samford Post Office
- Client must provide exact count of all pieces
- Not as cheap as automated
Electronic Data Files
