First, Second, Third (standard/bulk rate), Parcel Post, and now Priority.

Second class mail is a special class with lower rates than third class and 
faster service. It is intended specifically for disseminating information. 
Periodical publications must be issued with a regular frequency of at least 4 
times a year and must follow a consistent schedule in order to qualify for 
this status. There are also many rules that must be adhered to. This class 
must be applied for and fees are charged.

After submission of an application and fees for second class mail, a 
newsletter is classified as "pending" until all eligibility requirements are 
met and approved. During this time, the SIG is charged an estimate of third 
class postage but the newsletter is mailed second class (receiving a quicker 
delivery time). Upon approval, the SIG is reimbursed the difference between 
the estimated third class postage and the actual second class postage for all 
newsletters which were sent during the pending period.

Postage for all second-class mail includes a pound-rate charge and a 
piece-rate charge. There is no weight limit to be able to mail second class 
domestically. Internationally, the limit is 4 lbs (400 pages). Over this 
weight puts it into a Parcel Post category.

Second-class mail does not require an indicia or a return address on it's 
mailing panel. However, it must carry a second-class postage statement within 
it's first, five pages.

When we started the Rochester & Lake Springfield Herald we had to pay bulk 
rate postage whilst our application to mail at second class rates was pending. 
Once the permit came through the postage was charged retroactively at 2nd 
Class rates and the overage was applied to future postage. We mailed at the 
higher rates for 10 weeks and then didn't have to put up more $$$ for almost a 
year. Big Differences.

My current Saveur Magazine has a second class postage statement "Entered as 
Second Class Matter at 32142 and additional mailing offices."
