Did you know metered mail MUST be sent with a print date if account information is enclosed in the envelope?

For those interested here is some interesting stuff about regulations of the US Postal Service:


AND, here is the wording for First-class mail:

All mailable matter can be mailed as First-Class Mail. Some things MUST be mailed as First-Class Mail (or Priority Mail), including:Handwritten or typewritten materialBills, statements of account or invoices, credit cardsPersonal correspondence, personalized business correspondenceAll matter sealed or otherwise closed against inspection.
Oh, do you want the references? Just in case you'd like to check my facts:
