    Standard Mail® offers a lower price on postage for the work you perform. For Standard Mail, you must do some of the work the Postal Service would otherwise do. The work you do in terms of preparing, sorting, and entering your mail can lower your postage costs. An annual mailing fee of $175 is required. The mailpiece must weigh less than 16 ounces.

    Standard Mail requires a minimum of 200 pieces or 50 pounds per mailing. It can not be used for sending personal correspondence, handwritten or typewritten letters, or bills and statements of account. Rates are based on weight, shape, preparation, and entry. Automation rates are lower than nonautomation rates.

    Mailers use Standard Mail to send:

    Printed matter, flyers, circulars and advertising.

    Newsletters, bulletins and catalogs.

    Small packages.

    To use this service, your mailing must have a minimum number of deliveries on a single carrier’s route. The mail must be sorted in the order that the carrier delivers it. Rates are based on weight, shape and the quantity to an individual carrier. Lower rates are available for authorized Nonprofit organizations.

    All pieces in an Enhanced Carrier Rate mailing must:

    • Meet all the basic requirements for Standard Mail®.

    • Be part of a single mailing of a least 200 pieces or 50 lbs.

    • Be properly sorted to carrier routes and sequenced.

    • Have a delivery address that includes the correct ZIP Code.

    • The address must meet quality and coding standards.
