standard mail
Non-expedited postal delivery
Standard mail is a class of postal service for bulk mailings—advertisements, catalogs, newsletters—sent at lower rates than first-class mail but with slower delivery.
Mailers must meet minimum quantity requirements and follow specific preparation rules.
The term replaced "bulk rate" and later became "USPS Marketing Mail" in the United States: We send our quarterly newsletter by standard mail to keep costs down.
