POSTAGE & CLASS OF MAIL

Postage (1st Class is faster and costs more, Standard mail is slower and costs less. We do not recommend 1st class presort for mailings under 4,000 pieces. The initial setup costs to process your mail could be more than your postage savings.) In some cases, Priority or other postage rates will apply - we will advise.

Weight of your mail piece (if you do not know, please estimate)
1st Class 1st class presort Priority
Standard (formerly called bulk/third class) Nonprofit Periodical

Nonprofit PeriodicalSimplified International

How should we affix the postage:
