When to mail a letter vs. email

Mail is best when you need a formal record, a signature, or when the recipient requires physical delivery.

PostalForm U.S. First-Class mailing for one black-and-white document page plus the address page starts at $3.40. Certified Mail adds $8.00; Electronic Return Receipt adds $3.00 to Certified Mail. Your document, print choices, destination, and delivery options determine the checkout total. See the full pricing matrix.

Which mailing option and proof should you choose?

PostalForm offers U.S. letter mailing with different delivery and proof options. First-Class suits routine correspondence; Certified Mail adds mailing and delivery records, and Electronic Return Receipt adds a downloadable signature record. Expedited delivery prioritizes speed. Review the destination, estimated dates, total price, and required proof before paying.
