First Class vs. Standard Mail
Which is the Right Choice for your Needs?

— First Class Mail —

First Class Mail is processed by the USPS as a priority (it goes to the front of the USPS line). It is usually be delivered in 1-2 days locally, and nationally within 3-5 days. If the addressee has moved, your mail will be forwarded for up to 1 year. Undeliverable mail will be returned to you at no charge with the reason for non-delivery.

First Class Presort receives the same first class priority processing, yet offers about a 20% postage savings when you have 500 or more mail pieces. TSOQ Printing processes your mail so you can receive the lowest postage rate. The addresses are presorted, CASS certified (include the NCOA address update procedure) and barcoded. We also use the new “Intelligent Mail” barcode required for the lowest(Presorted Automation) postage rates.

— Standard Mail —

Standard Mail (also called “bulk mail“ and 3rd class mail) offers two major advantages:
It's a less expensive postage rate, and It allows for additional weight - up to 3.3 ounces (vs. 1 oz. for First Class).

The drawback is that Standard Mail is processed by the USPS on a “time available“ basis. There is NO guaranteed delivery time, so NEVER use Standard Mail if you have a crucial upcoming event or expiration date. Any time sensitive promotions are recommended to be mailed as First-Class mail.

Local Standard Class Mail is usually delivered in around 3-6 working days. Nationally distributed Standard Mail may take a week or more (sometimes it's faster, but sometimes its slower). Standard mail is neither forwarded nor returned if undeliverable - it merely goes in to the USPS recycling bin. All mail pieces must be identical.

— Non-Profit Mail —

Non-Profit Mail is simply a favored postage rate within Standard Mail. It's processed exactly the same, but gets even better discounts that can be 70% less than the cost of first class. If you are a non-profit organization you can apply to the USPS for these special rates by completing the USPS Nonprofit Standard Mail Application (form 3624).

Presort Mail
Basic Presorted Mail vs. Presort Automation

There are two levels of mail discounts available:
(1)  Presort Automation (the lowest rate)   (2)  Basic Presorted Mail (non-automation)

Presorted Automation Rate
TSOQ Printing performs all of the processing and sorting required by th US Post Office for your mailing to receive the low presort automation rates on your postage, including the new Intelligent Mail™ barcode (IMb) requirement. Besides saving additional money on postage, mail bearing the Intelligent Mail Barcode is also processed more rapidly by the USPS, typically resulting in faster delivery of your bulk mail.
