Mass mailing cost

The cost of mass mailing can vary greatly depending on several factors, including:

1. Number of recipients: The more people you're sending mail to, the higher the cost.
2. Type of mail: Different types of mail, such as letters, postcards, or packages, have different rates.
3. Weight and size: Larger or heavier items cost more to mail.
4. Distance: Mail sent to farther destinations costs more than mail sent locally.
5. Mailing service: Using a private mailing service, like UPS or FedEx, can be more expensive than using the US Postal Service (USPS).
6. Special handling: Requests for special handling, such as signature upon delivery or insurance, add to the cost.
