If God is in the details, then the USPS is the holiest place on earth - they have more rules, regulations, standards and codes than anyone else on the planet. And these rules are always evolving and changing, which is why mailhouses are in business...no one else can keep up with all the rule and regulation updates.
I just had a customer bring in a design for us to print and mail but we had to break it to her that it needed to be re-designed because it didn't meet the latest USPS rules about Flat sized mailers. Her designer had no idea that the rules had changed and if we hadn't caught the error, it would have cost over $2200.00 in extra postage.
So here is a handy link from the USPS:

Also, check out this handy dandy publication:
