Your direct mail project will go well and be priced right when you match your production needs to the right lettershop. In the print production and direct mail business, opposites definitely should not attract!
Good vendors will tell you when your job doesn't fit their capabilities. But others will take the job and then "outsource" your work to a lettershop or printer that can produce it. With your permission, that might be okay, but be cautious of additional costs. When vendors who aren't equipped to run your job take it and send it to a "partner" they likely are adding a hefty markup to the cost.
Here's our most recent equipment and capabilities list: A good example of what a well equipped, high volume lettershop has on the production floor.
