What proof do you get with Certified Mail?
Proof of mailing.
USPS records that your item entered the mailstream.
Tracking events.
Acceptance, in-transit and delivered scans when USPS reports them. Tracking is part of every Certified piece, never an add-on or an option you have to remember.
Clear limits.
Certified Mail doesn't speed up delivery, and it doesn't guarantee delivery, because delivery depends on USPS and the recipient.
How is the Certified price put together?
Letters starting at $1.15, postage included. For a one-page, single-sided, black-and-white First-Class letter. Certified letters add the current USPS Certified Mail fee. USPS sets that fee and publishes it in Notice 123, so we link to it instead of repeating a number that USPS changes. The complete price, Certified charge included, is shown before you approve, so you never learn the cost after the fact. You can pay per mailing or from an optional meter balance, and if you unapprove a job before it's processed on its mail date, the money goes back on your meter, never back to your card.
When should you choose Certified Mail over a Certificate of Mailing?
Choose Certified Mail when you want a record that the piece entered the mailstream and a way to follow it, because Certified includes USPS proof of mailing and tracking events. A Certificate of Mailing is evidence that you mailed a piece, but it has no tracking and it is never proof of delivery. A regular First-Class letter costs the least and doesn't include proof of mailing. If a contract, court or statute tells you how a notice must be sent, that wording controls, so check it before you pick a class. See Certified or Certificate of Mailing? Choose on screen.
When does a Certified letter go to USPS?
Approve your mailing by 10 p.m. Central, and we print, prepare and hand it off to USPS the next business day, so Certified is never same-day. USMail.ai is an AI print-to-mail platform, not USPS, and delivery timing after handoff is up to USPS. To walk through uploading and approving step by step, read how to send Certified Mail online.
What do people ask about USMail.ai?
Can an AI assistant send Certified Mail for me?
It can prepare the job. A person on your account either approves it in the app or sets a spending limit, called a postage grant, that lets the assistant submit jobs within it. Connect your assistant with an OAuth sign-in. The price is $1.15 plus the current USPS Certified Mail fee, shown before approval. We don't offer paper Return Receipt yet.
Does Certified Mail guarantee delivery?
No. It records mailing and USPS scan events. Delivery depends on USPS and the recipient.
What’s the difference between tracing, tracking and proof?
First-Class Mail tracing provides available USPS processing scans, while Certified Mail offers tracking and delivery status information. A Certificate of Mailing is evidence of mailing, never proof of delivery.
Can I leave tracking off to lower the Certified price?
No. Tracking is part of every Certified piece, so there is nothing to switch off, and the complete price is shown before you approve.
Where does my money go if I unapprove a Certified job?
If you unapprove a job before it's processed on its mail date, the money goes back on your meter, never back to your card.
