Don't get your asshole in an uproar. The post office doesn't do much for
free these days. Those CD are mailed out bulk-rate, and BMG has to pay
postage due when they are returned. So you the rate payer actually benefit
since the USPS might delay a rate by a day or two.

Don't forget to take all the postage paid reply cards out of your junk
mail, and dump them into the mail stream also.
