What is required if the mailing volume exceeds certain limits in the USPS?

Basic training for employees
A special shipping permit
Higher postage rates
Mandatory tracking for all packages

The correct answer is: A special shipping permit

When mailing volume exceeds certain limits, a special shipping permit is typically required. This permits businesses and individuals who send out large quantities of mail to take advantage of bulk mailing rates, which can significantly lower the cost per piece compared to standard rates. The permit ensures that the USPS can efficiently process and handle the increased volume of mail. The requirement for a special shipping permit also helps the USPS manage logistics and maintain consistency in service standards when dealing with high-volume customers. It facilitates better planning for resources and space at sorting facilities. The other options do not apply as directly in this context. While basic training for employees, higher postage rates, and mandatory tracking may have their own importance in different scenarios or policies, they do not specifically address the situation of exceeding mailing volume limits in the way that a special shipping permit does.
