Ask Dr. Barcode

Q. I sell and ship clipboards containing loose-leaf pages of medical information to doctors and nurses. Would clipboards qualify for Media Mail rates?

A. No, clipboards do not qualify for Media Mail rates. Even if the content of the printed material qualified for Media Mail rates according to DMM E713.1.1h, a clipboard is not considered a “binder” and therefore the entire mailpiece is ineligible for Media Mail rates.

Q. Can business reply mail (BRM) be forwarded if a business moves?

A. Yes, BRM is First-Class Mail. If a change of address order is on file with the Postal Service, undeliverable BRM pieces are forwarded at no cost for months 1 through 12 as indicated in DMM F010.5.1.

The DMM is available online at http://pe.usps.gov.
