Questions
Can I send certified mail without going to the post office?
Yes. Type or upload your letter, enter the address and pay. We print it, mail it with a genuine USPS Certified Mail label and email you the tracking number. Certified Mail is $14.99 and Certified with electronic return receipt is $17.99, postage included.
Is online certified mail the same as post office certified mail?
Yes. It's mailed as USPS Certified Mail with its own article number, so USPS tracks it and records the delivery exactly as it would for a letter mailed at the counter.
What does the return receipt prove?
Who signed for your letter and the delivery date. Our electronic return receipt arrives as a PDF by email, so there's no green card to lose.
Does the postmark or the delivery date count for my deadline?
It depends on the rule. IRS filings, Tax Court petitions and FTC cooling-off cancellations count the postmark; card billing disputes count receipt. Certified Mail proves both dates.
Do you give legal advice?
No. Our templates and guides are general information with links to the official rules. For a specific dispute, talk to legal aid or a lawyer.
