Hello! I'm trying to figure out the post offices rates.
Can anyone define:
1st class
Priority
3rd class
4th class
I'm very confused! Does anyone have rate charts for any of them? What instances would I use each one in? I just got a digital scale from stamps.com and dont' know what each class means or how to charge for them!
Priority- As fast as a speeding bullet
1st Class-As fast as racing car
2nd Class-As fast as a race horse
3rd Class-As fast as a hare
4th Class-As fast as a Donkey
The best place is the usps site mentioned here it is easy to use and follow.

Beware common misinformation ::

Priority is advertised as equivalent to first class, but for larger items; i.e. items over 13 oz... 1st class rate chart only goes to 13 oz. because priority is considered the SAME service.
For faster service (i.e. overnight) look at EXPRESS
