We do a big mailing of over 1000 newsletters twice a year, and we never know quite how the local Post Office is going to receive us when we walk in pulling a trolley stacked with 120Kgs of franked mail. Get a "jobsworth" on the counter, and they'll insist that you pass over the envelopes in bunches of about 50 because "there's a limit on the weight we're allowed to lift"; get someone more helpful and they'll contact their sorting colleagues round the back and let you transfer the mailing directly into one of their trolleys or even (if your timing is right) put it straight on the next van to the sorting office.
