  2. What is Presort Anyway? • Presort – To sort mail according to Zip Codes before delivering to the Post Office. • The process by which a mailer prepares mail so that it is sorted to the finest extent required by the standards for the rate claimed. Generally, presort is performed sequentially, from the lowest (finest) level to the highest level, to those destinations specified by standard and is completed at each level before the next level is prepared. Not all presort levels are applicable to all mailings. -Business Mailers 101 • Presort Mailer – A mailer that presorts or has their mail presorted. They earn a worksharing discount that reflects the reduced cost of processing to the USPS. -National Association of Presort Mailers
