Skip, I think I figured it out.
If you look at the envelope the surveys came in, you'll see that they're printed with a non-profit permit. Over top of the permit is a sticker stamped with $00.85 postage. For some reason, the non profit permit couldn't be used, so they paid the first class rate to mail the surveys to ~ 40,000 households. According to my calculator 40,000 x $0.85 = $34,000. I think it would have been approximately half that amount if they could have used the non profit permit.
By depositing the surveys in the box at the mail station, I think they save the first class postage cost to send them directly to Tampa, especially since the postage cost was double what they expected to spend.
