Direct Mail Companies Questions.

[Mark]

For those that use direct mail companies.

How can they prove to you that they really sent out the mailing and when? Also, should they charge you more to prove it to you?


I've heard of some companies not really sending out all of your order to save money, and just wait until you call to send the rest of the order. If you dont call in and complain, they pocket the money.

Getting a 2.5% - 3% return usually means they are sending them out

When it comes to F.E. most of us are not getting back but 1/2% of 1% at best.

Back to my question. If you pay a mailing company to do your mailings and I dont care what kind of a mailing, is there a way for them to prove to you that they mailed it out and when they said they did and does it cost more?

I asked a place I use a while back, I don't remember the details but they could prove it for a price.

Way, way back when I was doing direct mail I had them mail me a list of everyone they sent them too. I could not only verify that they were sent but I could contact the ones who didn't respond.

You mean they aren't doing that anymore? I think I would insist on it.
