Choosing a Mailing Service
We chose First Class. See pages 27-28 of “An Introduction to Mailing for Businesses and Organizations” and rate charts for all options.

Choosing a Postage Payment Method
We have used PC postage technology (prints postage directly on mail piece) and permit imprint (prints permit information directly on piece). See pages 14-15 of “An Introduction to Mailing for Businesses and Organizations” for all options. The permit application fee was $175 and the annual fee was $175. Permit imprint postage is paid for at the time of mailing, which is taken to the Business Mail Entry Unit (BMEU) at your local post office. Dazzle Express states that permit box printing is not available for label or postcard printing. However, you can create a text box with the permit information using Dazzle Designer (included in Dazzle Express). Specifications on the permit information that must be included is here: http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/604.htm#wp1113553.
