A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act allegations against Quicksort Inc, Quicksort LA Inc and Quicksort Sacramento Inc.  They are accused of false representing the pre-sort level of mail they submitted to the U.S. Postal Service.

The settlement resolves allegations that the Quicksort companies misrepresented the pre-sort level of mail they submitted to the U.S. Postal Service at various times in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

The U.S. Postal Service offers lower postage rates to mailers who automate and sort their mail by zip code because these steps save the Postal Service time and money. Mailers use the services of businesses such as Quicksort that combine the mail of many customers and pre-sort it in order to qualify for the pre-sort discounts. After processing customers' mail, these pre-sort businesses present the mail to the Postal Service for mailing.
