Actually, the difference between Delaware and Hartford CT in your
example and that of Boulder, CO in the previous one is that in your case
there are actually many different companies located there, while in the
case of the rebate house or magazine fullfillment houses, there are
generally just one or maybe two in that city, but they have contracts
with a number of publishers or manufacturers to handle their
subscriptions and rebates. I'd be surprised if there is more than a
small handful of publishers in Boulder. The company in Boulder, BTW, is
called Neodata. I think they have a web site.
