Economy Access postage is the standard mail option on Docmail. 

It is an alternative to the 2nd class equivalent (Down Stream Access mail service), with the main differences between the two being the postal delivery window, and overall cost per letter.

With economy access delivery, the delivery occurs when the address has other post, so mailings often arrive with in two days, but delivery can take up to 5 days.
