What s the difference between First Class mail and Standard Mail?
First Class Presort is the Postal Service s fastest and more costly approach to mailing, generally reaching its destinations within 1 to 5 business days. Standard Presort mailings typically take 5 to 15 business days to reach its destinations nationwide. Although standard mail may have a longer delivery timeframe, there are some financial advantages to standard mail, offering a postage discount to account for the longer delivery timeframes. Standard mail is now being delivered more quickly when utilizing Automation Compatible software and barcodes.
