Prices, fees, promotions and mailing standards change from time to time. We date every page, but USPS sources are the final word: Notice 123, the Domestic Mail Manual, PostalPro and usps.com. Your Business Mail Entry Unit decides whether a mailing qualifies for the price you claim.

The mail class chooser gives a general suggestion from a few answers. It isn't a ruling on your mailing.
