I'm talking about the type of postage paid cards for things such as warranty cards, surveys etc.
My dog chewed the floating cord for my pool robot in half and they wont send me a replacement until they get the warranty card which was mailed yesterday. It seems like I read something to the effect of that when first class volume is high all of that stuff goes to the back burner.

Business Reply Mail is first class mail, and should move every day.
That being said, BRM is paid for in different ways.
If the recipient has a standing account with the post office, that account is debited by a clerk, and the mail (up to a few thousand pieces) just goes out with their regular carrier, same day.
Very high volume BRM customers will pick up their own and, for obvious reasons, will do that at least once per day.
A very small volume customer - or one whose account has run dry - might have to come down to the post office & pay their bill to get their BRM, and can do that at their own pace.

Thanks ikeyPikey!
I knew someone on here would know exactly how that works. Should be a few days instead of a couple weeks. Thank you!

The thing to BOLO (Be On the Look Out for) are the top-of-the-stack pieces.
Whether using postage due stamps (in the old days) or meter strips (in more recent decades), the top piece would "pay" all of the postage for the stack.
These top-of-the-stack pieces can be a lot of fun, since we find them sans stack, leading to a moment of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, er, sudden curiosity.
There is also an accounting sheet, which you can find bearing a ton of postage due, that was used for tray'd mail.

Does anyone have any insight as to how long Business Reply Mail typically takes?
