What are Undersized Directs?
• When sorting a Mailsort 1400 or Presstream posting, there have to be at least 25 letters or 5 large letters, A3 packets or packets to constitute a Direct Selection; otherwise, those items go into a Residue bag. However, the Undersized (or “Sub-standard”) Directs rule is an option which allows customers to maximise their discounts by sending some items that would otherwise be Residues as Direct Selections • The Undersized Directs principle is that a Residue bag which contains only items for one Direct Selection and no other items can be sent as a Direct Selection and receive Direct Selection discount • Undersized Directs cannot be applied to Mailsort 700 postings • More information on Undersized Directs, including an example of how the rule applies, is in the Mailsort User Guide, Mailsort 1400 chapter.
