[PrintOwners] Surcharge for postage???

[Rob Robertson]

What do you do? I know your mailings are probably larger than ours. And I know I can not afford to lose $3000 in postage because the customer decided to pay. I have a collection client that we did a mailing for last year that we have taken to court. We won the case, he gave us the postage money upfront. Had I loaned him the money, we would be out that money as well. Even though we won, we lost

DO NOT ADVANCE POSTAGE TO ANYONE! I DON'T CARE IF THEY ARE YOUR BEST
FRIEND, DON'T DO IT. The standard practice is to pay for postage upfront
with all mailing houses. Most of the time your postage amounts far
outweigh the cost of the print job and mailing operations. Your customer
will understand and should not have any complaints. If they can't get a
check right a way, then get a CC #. For CC charges, we do add a 5%
convenience charge to the postage amount.

company has its own policies.
