Which mailing option and proof should you choose?
PostalForm offers U.S. letter mailing with different delivery and proof options.

Review the destination, estimated dates, total price, and required proof before paying.
| Mailing option | Delivery speed | Proof | Use when | Avoid when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USPS First-Class Mail | First-Class Mail delivery estimate shown before payment. | Available processing scans; no recipient signature or Certified Mail receipt. | Routine letters when a signed delivery record is unnecessary. | Your instructions require Certified Mail, a signature, or a deadline this estimate cannot meet. |
| Certified Mail | First-Class delivery speed; certification does not make delivery faster. | USPS mailing and delivery/attempt tracking; no Electronic Return Receipt unless added. | You need a recorded mailing and delivery or attempted-delivery status. | You need a downloadable signature record or faster delivery. |
| Certified Mail + Electronic Return Receipt | First-Class delivery speed; signature collection may require redelivery or pickup. | Certified Mail records plus a downloadable USPS signature record when available. | Your instructions call for Certified Mail with Return Receipt or you need the signature record. | Your recipient requires an original enclosure, personal service, or another submission method. |
| Expedited / Express with signature | Faster estimated delivery range shown at checkout; production cutoff and destination apply. | Carrier tracking and signature option; this is separate from Certified Mail and ERR. | Speed and signature matter and checkout offers the service for your destination. | A rule specifically requires Certified Mail or the displayed estimate misses your deadline. |
Availability and delivery estimates depend on the document and destination. Mailing proof does not establish that a recipient accepted a filing or that legal service requirements were met. Delivery estimates · Full pricing

Common mistakes+
- Assuming every solar sale has a three-day cancellation right regardless of where or how it was sold.
- Counting Sunday or a federal holiday as an FTC Cooling-Off Rule business day.

- Waiting until provider production time leaves no margin before the deadline.
- Using a generic letter when another buyer must sign or the contract requires another form or submission method.
FAQs+
Does every solar contract have a three-day cancellation period?
No. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule covers qualifying in-person sales at a home, workplace, or temporary sales location and has important exclusions. A contract may separately provide a cancellation right. This workflow requires the user to identify a supported lane.
Can an agent or API use this product?
Yes. The published workflow exposes the same fields, required contract attachment, Certified Mail rule, and compliance policy through PostalForm's forms catalog, Forms API, machine-order, MPP, and MCP surfaces.
Can I use it after installation starts?
No. This workflow is only for projects where installation has not started. Site work, financing disputes, fraud claims, lien issues, or post-installation remedies require another path.
Can I send a lender copy too?
This version creates one cancellation mailpiece to the contract-directed seller or cancellation address. A lender copy is not treated as a substitute for notice to the seller.
