What are the Benefits of First-Class Mail?
The USPS First-Class mail service is the most effective mode of delivery for information ranging from invoices to postcards. This level of mail is ideal for organizations looking for consistent delivery times while staying within a reasonable budget. Speed, price and additional services are a few of the reasons First-Class mail is the best option. When it comes to smaller packages under 15.99 oz., you will save money. First-Class delivery offers Return Service as well, meaning your customers can return items you send for no charge towards them.
First-Class Mail Takes Priority
- Typically delivered in 2-4 business days. The USPS gives priority to First-Class mail over all other classes. Standard Class delivery can take anywhere from 5-20 days after being dropped off at a USPS facility. The USPS does not provide a delivery date guarantee for Standard Mail.
- Required for any invoices, credit cards, or personalized correspondence. When mail is processed First-Class, the mail is touched less and processed quickly, keeping the utmost integrity of the mail piece.
- Can still reach people with outdated addresses. If a First-Class mail piece is undeliverable, the USPS will forward the mail to the correct address, or return it to the sender, typically at no charge.
- Best for peak mailing season. The holidays are busy for all, especially the USPS. Over 15 billion pieces of mail are processed during the holiday mailing season. Standard mail may take weeks to deliver, with drastic variations in delivery times.
- Cheapest option for packages weighing less than 15.99 oz. On average, you will save up to $3.70 per package.
