The other advantage in the shipping is the zoned shipping USPS is using which will only get more expensive.
So shipping a bulk submission to NJ from the northeast will be slightly cheaper.
On PSAs end they can make one periodic large shipment each way, and the savings will be worthwhile.
For me PSA is zone 8. So a 3 lb package by priority is 12.14
NJ is zone 3 so the same package is just 5.96
NYC would be even cheaper from NJ.
So saving $6 a package for small subs is pretty good. They'd still have the one big package going cross country, but the per pound is much less.
Heavier packages the savings is bigger, just over $10 for a 6 lb package.
How many packages do they ship a week?
Plus they can advertize it as being more "green" as it does actually save fuel.
