Candid Color Systems would like to thank you for attending our Summer Workshops last week! We all had a great time and were very excited to have you in Oklahoma City! We hope you enjoyed the exchange of ideas! To view the presentations from the workshops go to CandidNet.com and click on the workshop icon on the homepage!

Presort First Class, the company we use to process our USPS mail, has recently raised their fee for this service by 1 cent, from $0.07 to $0.08, for Non-Barcoded Flats. A Non-Barcoded Flat is a 9x11 envelope that does not pass the Post Office required address verification software, addresses that are altered in the lab, and/or all flats during our low volume days. In calendar 2007, Non-Barcoded Flats represented approximately 3% of the total Flat volume sent thru the lab.

We will make this change effective August 18, 2008. This will not affect the current $0.05 Presort fee for Barcoded Flats. Therefore, on June 2, Presort fees for Flats will be $0.05 for Barcoded Flats and $0.08 for Non- Barcoded Flats.

In order to ensure that your Flats can be verified with the address software required by the Post Office, you need a good, valid, complete address. This includes apartment numbers, correct info if ST, RD, CIR, (abbreviations for Street, Road, Circle) etc. Please contact Customer Support for any assistance or clarification at 800-750-0494.
