Bulk Mail Services by Regiscope

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRST CLASS AND STANDARD MAIL?

First Class Mail has priority handling in the postal service. If the mail piece cannot be delivered for any reason, it will be either forwarded to a new address if a Change of Address was filed with the postal service; or it will be returned to sender with the reason it was not forwarded. This is done at no additional cost to the sender.

Postage is based on the weight of the mail piece, in whole ounce increments. Certain items must be mailed at First Class rates--invoices, statement of account, letters (hand-written or typed and signed), and personal correspondence. Individual mail pieces weighing over 13 ounces would be mailed using Priority Mail.

Standard (Bulk) mail is used for advertising, newsletters, promotional pieces, and general information for a business or organization.

Mail that cannot be delivered (for any reason) will not be forwarded or returned without an ancillary endorsement telling the postal service how you want undeliverable mail to be handled. If you use an ancillary endorsement, for any piece of undeliverable mail there will be a charge for forwarding, returning or notifying the sender why the piece was not delivered.

Postage for Standard Mail is the same price for up to 3.3 ounces. Postage for items weighing more that 3.3 ounces, but less than one (1) pound is based on a piece rate plus pound rate. These rates will vary if the piece is a letter-size piece, a flat-size or an irregular parcel. Items weighing more than one (1) pound must be mailed as parcel post, bound-printed matter or priority mail.

Delivery time on Standard Mail might (and probably will) take longer than delivery of First Class Mail.
