bulk mail

High-volume postal shipments

Bulk mail is mail sent in large quantities at reduced postage rates, typically advertising, catalogs, or newsletters.

The sender must meet minimum quantity requirements and often pre-sort by ZIP code.

Most bulk mail is unsolicited and ends up in the trash: The mailbox was stuffed with bulk mail.
