ASK DR. BARCODE

Q: In the March/April 2006 issue, you answered a question regarding payment and application of a Standard Mail presort mailing fee. Does the same criteria apply to the First-Class Mail presort mailing fee?

Persons or organizations (e.g., letter shops) paying a First-Class Mail presort mailing fee may enter any First-Class Mail of their clients, as well as their own, regardless how postage is paid, as long as the mailing permit is with the same Post Office. See DMM 233.3.4.
