USPS Eases Simplified Addressing

While the expansion of simplified addressing does not change existing prices or classification standards for Standard Mail flats, the USPS says it can lower costs by reducing mail preparation time and eliminating the need for address list purchases and on-press personalization.

Standard Mail offers a lower price on postage in return for the commercial mailer doing extra preparation work, such as presorting the mailing. It allows mailers to address pieces to "Postal Customer" when complete coverage on any designated delivery route is intended.
