The handling charge is $40.00 for up to 300 pieces of mail. Mailing above 300 pieces are charged $40.00 (for the first 300 pieces) and an additional three cents ($0.03) for each additional piece of mail.

Example:

How much would be the cost if a customer is posting 2,100 pieces of local mail weighing up to 20 grams?

Answer:

The cost of posting 2100 pieces of local mail weighing up to 20 grams is [2100 x $0.65 = $1365.00]

The handling charge for 2100 pieces of mail forwarded via the Postage Paid (without licence) service is:

The cost for the first 300 pieces of mail is $40.00

The cost for the additional 1800 pieces of mail is [1800 x $0.03] = $54.00.

Total Handling charge is [$40.00 + $54.00 =$94.00]

Total cost of mailing:

[Postage $1365.00 + Handling charge $94.00 = $1459.00]

The cheque should be written to Postmaster General in the sum of $1459.00
