What is the difference between a standard bulk rate mailing and a discounted first class mailing?
A standard bulk rate mailing offers a much higher discount by almost half of the full first class postage rate. This services has an average delivery time of 3-7 business days within Texas, but is not guaranteed by the Post Office. The minimum quantity for this discount is 200 records, anything less will result in full rate first class postage. Alamo Mailing strongly recommends using the standard bulk rate service to allow our customers to save the most money on postage. Generally the only time that Alamo Mailing recommends using the discounted first class service is if the material is for a dated event that falls within a week of receiving the material or if the material is required by law to be delivered with the first class services. A discounted first class mailing offers all the same benefits that you would receive with full rate first class postage but at a reduced cost. Standard delivery time is 1-3 days guaranteed by the Post Office.
