Question

How to Choose Between First Class and Standard Rate Mailing?

Answer

The right mail class comes down to two things: how fast your pieces need to arrive and how much you want to spend.

ClassChoose it whenTrade-off
Standard RateYour project is not time sensitive and you want the lower postage cost.Longer delivery window, often around two weeks.
First ClassYour mail is time sensitive and needs to arrive sooner.Faster delivery at a higher postage rate.
  • Go with Standard Mail to stretch your budget when timing is flexible.
  • Go with First Class when delivery speed matters more than saving on postage.
