RPW sampling can change depending upon the time of year or even the time period during a given month. POS figures more accurately sum up the distribution of added services and other accountables tracked by RPW. I believe the USPS must be conservative in assessing volume figures based on RPW.

I don't think there are too many companies in the world who did that well in 2006 outside of the construction industry.
