Mailing Class

By default, all mail is sent as First Class or the quickest non-express postage available in the destination country. You can opt for a lower postage fee by selecting Standard Class from the 'Mailing Class' dropdown menu.

Certified and Registered Mail

You can opt for extra service if you want to send out registered or certified mail. These mailing options are available only for sending letters and checks.

Type	Country
Certified	United States
Certified with Return Receipt	United States
Registered	Canada and Australia
Priority	Australia

Please note that for Australia, the 'Priority' service is available as a custom job, not through the dashboard. To get pricing information, please contact our sales team at [email protected].

Express Shipping

You can select the Express Delivery checkbox while creating the order only if you have not opted for the Extra Service option. Express Delivery essentially means that your order will reach your customer within 2-3 days after being handed off to the carrier.

Mailing Classes Offered in the United States

USPS offers various mailing classes tailored to different needs and budgets.

First-Class Mail®

First-Class Mail® service is the least expensive, most immediate option for mailing postcards, letters, and large envelopes (flats)
USPS provides IMB which is a 65-bar Postal Service™ barcode used to sort and track letters and flats. This includes both First-Class and Standard Mail, as the barcode identifiers specify the mail class and service level requested.

USPS Marketing Mail (Second Class)

USPS Marketing Mailing must meet a minimum quantity of 200 pieces or 50 pounds of mail.
Tracking number will be available for standard class only if the number of mailings is more than 500.

Certified Mail®

Certified Mail is a USPS service that helps you mail securely throughout the US.
Certified Mail® provides proof that you mailed an item at the post office and includes a tracking number that allows you to monitor its progress through the USPS system.
Users can track Certified Mail online to see when it was accepted, processed, and delivered to the recipient's address.
Certified Mail provides confirmation of delivery, but it does not include proof of who received it. It just confirms that the item was delivered to the recipient's address.

Certified Mail® with Return Receipt

Certified Mail® with Return Receipt is useful for legal documents, important contracts, or any correspondence where you need documented confirmation of delivery with the recipient's signature.
Like Certified Mail, this service provides proof that you sent an item from the post office, including a tracking number.
It includes all the tracking features of Certified Mail, allowing users to monitor the item's journey.
Return Receipt is an additional service where the recipient or an authorized agent must sign a receipt upon delivery. The signature is then returned to the sender by mail, providing proof of delivery with the recipient's signature.
Alternatively, Electronic Return Receipt (ERR) provides proof of delivery for Certified Mail items sent through the USPS. Instead of receiving a physical signature on a paper receipt, ERR captures the recipient’s signature electronically. This signature, along with other delivery details, is then provided to the sender electronically rather than through traditional mail.
