Sec. 3208. Shipment by most economical means
Shipments of official matter other than franked mail shall be sent
by the most economical means of transportation practicable. The Postal
Service may refuse to accept official matter for shipment by mail when

may provide for its transportation by freight or express whenever a
saving to the Government of the United States will result therefrom
without detriment to the public service.
