One important change in preparation of a mailing that is non-automated, non-barcoded Standard A (originally known as 3rd class) Bulk Mailing:Īll Standard A Bulk mailings that are not automated (barcoded by Mail Services) must have the 5-digit zip codes in each address verified and corrected within 12 months prior to the date of mailing by an USPS-approved method. ** Please note that if you choose to manually prepare your mailing, you will pay higher postage rates, the preparation time will be much greater, and the mail will move more slowly within the U.S. For those who wish to prepare their own mailing, Mail Services can provide you with detailed instructions for all necessary procedures, including manually sorting the mailing into 5-digit, 3-digit and Area Distribution Center Zip code bundles. Your department can prepare the mailing or you may choose to have Mail Services prepare the mailing. The mailpieces still must be manually sorted according to postal regulations. If you are unsure, please call 593-1851 to arrange for a consultation. Also, if your mail piece does not meet the mail piece design requirements for automation, you must prepare your mailing as a non-automated, non-barcoded Standard A bulk mailing. Those departments who do not participate in the Standard A Automated (Barcoded) Bulk Mail Program may continue to prepare their bulk mailings as before. Mail Services offers an automated program for addressing and sorting mailpieces as a convenience to university departments.
